An Airbus A 300 crashed in Queens. Not sure if it was terrorist, but the FAA says that it might not be a terrorist act. I just heard about it and turned on CNN.

Yeah, there are 2 crash sites they said. CNN said that there was a fighter flying recon around the NYC area, but this is just routine. Well, I don't think there were any radio messages from the flights on Sept. 11th.

personally i believe it was catastrophic engine failure. Just got up from planting myself on sofa watching the n00z. IMO if terrorists were going to strike again with planes, i think they would try to go for something slightly higher profile like the White House or a second attempt at the Pentagon. It is tragic, but i think this is an isolated incident. I also heard that an engine fell off, but i heard it fell into a Ladie's back garden and set fire to the house. The owners wherent home. (I obtained all my stuff from TV and CNN.com) A plane engineer dude said that it was likely an engine failure caused this, cuz the engine was under most strain at the point it ditched, Rotors spinning at a v. high RPM doestend to have a v. damaging effect when it explodes or falls apart. My thoughts....

there's not too much useful information as to the cause of this event. ari fleischer, the white house spokesman, wasn't saying anything other than the fact that the government is formulating ideas and getting clues. for all we know, it could have been some fucked up pigeon that deciding to dive into the engine. or it could have been terroristic, but most likey an unrelated incident. you can fly a plane with less than the normal amount of engines and the pilot could have been trying to save the plane and people, but it all happened within a short amount of time so there might not have been a chance to use the radio.
