CNN's going on about being one day shy of the sixth anniversary of the Cole bombing. Whee.

No one's sure if it was a helicopter or a fixed-wing plane, but whatever it was, it was flying visual and not in tower contact.

I'm assuming that you're talking about
A small airplane crashed into a 50-story residential building on Manhattan's East Side on Wednesday, killing at least one person, the New York City Fire Department said.
and not some other thing that happened on the West side?

Yeah it sucks. The tv is saying that the weather may have contributed in that it was overcast and so the pilot was flying really low.

*shrug* No clue.

And it was a fixed-wing craft, not a helicopter.

East, West, what is difference?

(Also they said helicopter at first.)

I expect penthouse prices in New York to plummet.

Looks like I'm moving to New York!
