I'm watching this on TV right now (cnn.com still not responding). Some of the initial details have changed:
- Not a 767, an Airbus A-300 (seats around 300 people)
- It was American Airlines flight 587;/leaving/ JFK for Dominican Rep.
- The crash site is a residential/shopping area (Rockaway Beach Blvd.)
- FAA issued an advisory saying that there is no indication (yet) of a terrorist attack.
- Bridges and tunnels in NYC have been closed.

The suggested readings I've seen in postings so far have all been excellent, save for one missing notable.
Where's Kurt Vonnegut?
For my buck, essential reading includes:
Slaughterhouse Five
Breakfast of Champions
...and my personal favourite:
The Sirens of Titan (probably a good start for someone younger)
You really can't go wrong with these titles, IMO.
