If that was a terrorist attack today, then it was a retarded terrorist.
Somehow, "apartment building" as a suicide target over NYC just doesn't do it - considering all the really sensitive targets that could have been chosen.

It has to be an accident - the pilot just lost control of the plane. And it does happen all the time. I think the question is how is it the guy ever got on such a flight path - who wasn't doing their job??

Interesting posts though -

10. Actually one of my sons is retarded.
I don't have any problem with the word at all. I sure have a problem with the "mentally challenged" running our country right now, though.

Sorry about your son's disability, I too have a daughter that has learning and emotional disorders.

4. Isn't murder/suicide an obvious possibility?

Given that teenager who flew into that building in Florida a couple of years ago?

6. No tail number, no flight plans
What is being reported:

No tail number -- NBC says that is unusual at this point in time
No record of missing planes at 2 general aviation airports in area: Westchester & Teeterboro
No seaplanes -- both seaplane terminals report nothing unusual
No commuter plane -- LaGuardia, JFK, Newark report no missing aircraft
No transponder alerts from aircraft

But: remember this type of aircraft -- no tail number, no transponder, flies secret missions, un-piloted:

San Diego - Aug 18, 2003
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has granted a national Certificate of Authorization (COA) to the U.S. Air Force to routinely fly the Northrop Grumman-produced RQ-4 Global Hawk aerial reconnaissance system in national airspace. The certificate is the first national COA granted for an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) system.

----------
Career professionals within the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are trying to avert a severe threat to the flying public by forcing the Pentagon to prove that its unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and those who remotely pilot them are not dangers to other aircraft flying in civil airspace. The Bush administration has forced the FAA into creating a UAV program office that will compete with civilian passenger and cargo aircraft using the same civil airspace -

- a potentially catastrophic situation according to government sources familiar with the UAV program. The sources maintain the Navy's Predator B UAV is extremely dangerous to other planes for several reasons -- the delay factor in maneuvering the drone from the ground and the fact that non-pilots are probably at the controls.

18. How do they know it doesn't have a tail number, exactly?
They find the plane?

This flight -at least - came up on some controllers radar.

Really, if no planes are unaccounted for - I think thats what this means - then this is not a "rogue plane" - doesn't this imply that "someone" filed a flight plan frome "somewhere"?

What is wrong with this picture?

Interesting reading you have here.

Joe

9. Oh god. Are you saying that retarded people have their own terrorists?
I think we can find better words than "retarded," can't we?

14. "Feeble minded?"
"Retarded" is a perfectly cromulent word.

21. Rove's lamest October surprise ever
Plus photos prove that there was no plane at that apartment building today--that's just what they want you to believe. You can guzzle all the kool-aid you want, I'm telling you it was a controlled demolition orchestrated by the illuminati of Bilderberg.
