naiwf Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 A small plane (previously reported as a helicopter) hit a building on 72nd St & York Avenue in Manhattan, and of course the news media and cops are all over it like it was a terrorist attack even though right now it's being ruled an accident. The "eyewitnesses" don't really strike me as 100% credible. I really hope this doesn't become another city crippling event with police presence slowing everything to a halt. EDIT: According to CNN, NORAD has decided to launch fighter planes to do patrols over several US cities. This is retarded.
bobobrazil1984 Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 seems like nothing terrorism related according to what i'm reading. as far as I know the fighter plane patrol is standard operation procedure since 9/11. might as well be safer rather than sorry. but sounds like nothing major.
naiwf Posted October 11, 2006 Author Report Posted October 11, 2006 ESPNews is reporting he died in the crash.
Cheech Tremendous Posted October 11, 2006 Report Posted October 11, 2006 I've been placing news in the sports folder as well. Cory Lidle and at least one other person are dead at this point.
NoCalMike Posted October 12, 2006 Report Posted October 12, 2006 Condolences to Lidle his family, and the other victims involved....... but fuck the media for treating this like mini-9/11 for three hours when it was fairly obvious from the start that it was an accident.
