Another Plane Down in New York

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Monday November 12, 2001 @02:43AM from the breaking-news-mode dept.

Another plane has crashed, this time in Queens. You can read a blurb at Yahoo. CNN.com isn't responding for me. LaGuardia, Newark and JFK are closed now. Update: 11/12 14:54 GMT by T : New reports indicate that the plane was departing from JFK, not arriving. Also, CNN has confirmed that this was American Airlines flight 587, an Airbus A 300. Update: 11/12 14:57 GMT by T : Further information is that the plane was en route to the Dominican Republic, and that the disaster actually involves two crash sites, not just one -- an engine fell from the plane some distance from the fuselage.

airbus, not 767 by jamesbrown1000 · 2001-11-12 02:50 · Score: 5, Funny

it's an airbus A-300 jet, according to MSNBC. or it's a flying saucer, according to Fox News ... :)

We must seek these birds out in their nests before they strike again!

Dick, lets launch some tomahawks! I like their perdy smoke trails...
