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.

Even if your all for Slashdot poster's rights of free speech, copy-pasting an article from a great publication desperate to financially support itself is at the least, in very poor taste.

Information wants to be free.... but online magazines would like it if they could stay in bussiness, and I'd like it too.
