Quick! Place bets! Crazy or Terrorist?

hahahahahah...terrorist! And WTF, I thought our airspace was protected?? How does this happen again...IN MANHATTAN of all places?

Not so funny. At least two people are reported dead and more trapped.

The FAA can not rule out terrorism. The DHS has ordered divisions to patrol the water, the NORAD has ordered fighters scrambled over cities.

hahahahahah...terrorist!

Always showing class...

Quick! Everyone go to http://allinthenuances.blogspot.com

Spam?

Wow, that was unusual.

Anyway, the fire has supposedly been extinguished for the most part.

At least, according to some of the reports on WNYC.

The only two fatalities-so far-are the people found near the wheel chassis of the airplane.

Edit: They could have been residents of the condo, not necessarily passengers.

I'm glad they finally settled on a "fixed wing aircraft."

For now.

The plane registered to Corey Lidol?

This just gets more and more odd.

Four people (confirmed) dead now.

Two in the plane, and two inside of the condo.

They say Lidol was on the plane with an instructor.

Ah, misspelled his name.

Yeah, it seems as if he was piloting the plane.

I vaguely remember another well known ballplayer crashing his plane a number of years ago.

Munson. He crashed in Ohio.

Was Lidol learning take-offs and nothing else?

No one inside of the apt. building was injured?

Wow.

You know there are a lot of athletes who seem to die in plane crashes: Clemente, Payne Stewart, Munson, Rocky Marciano. Damnable shame.

LMAO.

I'm sorry, I know this is a tragic event, but I can't help it.

Is there any situation-or any circumstances-where Alec "The Bloviator" Baldwin can restrain his congenital urge to act like an asshole?

*shakes head*

Well, if you are rich and crash a car, chances are they will live (since the rich tend to drive limos or SUVs). Crash a plane, and well, even if you have a jumbo jet, like John Travolta, the plane still loses

Rocky marciano is dead?

Ah, Dawn, his spirit lives on with all the crappy white heavyweight champs who frankly bore the hell out of me. I am really pulling for lifelong underachiever Shannon Briggs to take one of the belts in a few weeks just so I have some reason to watch the heavyweights again.

Then again, it's possible they were blocking his access to a Dunkin' Donuts across the street.

Is Vitali Klitschko any good?

I know he's white, and used to hold one of those belts.

That Baldwin photo is the best caption contest I've seen in ages. How did that cop stifle his laughter?

Vitali was pretty good. He retired and now his brother Wladimir has one of the belts. Wlad is nowhere near as good as his brother; he simply does not have the chin.

I always liked Andrew Gulota.

Nothing says technique better than sucker punching another boxer in the scrotum.

If only Gerry Cooney had that kind of finesse.

That pic of the Bloviater is priceless.
COP: You can't cross.
BALDWIN: I MUST!
COP: Sorry, not gonna happen.
BALDWIN: Do you know who I am.
COP: Yeah. It's like a bonus. How's Kim doing?

If it was suicide, what a selfish, frickin' loser it was who did it.

How very sad. I remember seeing a picture of a plane crashed into a NY skyscraper from WW2. Fog to blame that time.

btw, is "Crazy or Terrorist" not funny if it affects your city? I knew there was a reason I've been saying how crass a game this is!

no...still funny. hahahahhahaha

Although, I guess this one's neither...

unless it was suicide...then, it's crazy.

It's not crass, c'mon. This was clearly either an accident or terrorism (unless Lidel took the Yankees loss much harder than expected) and therefore didn't fit the game rules.

I don't think people commit sucide simply because they have a crappy playoff series.

No one's that emo.

baldwin was prolly anxious to get in front of a camera with the burning building behind him so he could make a statement blaming the whole thing on george bush and that it's all a zionist plot.

Remember, though he was flying the plane, he had an instructor on board.

Maybe it was the teacher who committed suicide.

The whole idea of student pilots kind of creeps me out.

Even when I see that "student driver" sticker attached to a bus I get a bit nervous.

I realize you have to learn somewhere, but do professional pitchers really need to know how to fly a Cessna around New York?

I'm no fan of Alec Baldwin by any means, but what proof do we have he's trying to get by the cop and not just asking him about the situation? Where's the accompanying story from the photog? Where's a transcript?

What I want to see:
"Hi Alec, I was just wondering. I mean, I know that we don't even know each other, but I know that you were going out with that girl Kim. I can see that you're not going out with her anymore and I wondering if-- "

DU, FTW.

BOOOOSHITLEROVIANCONSPIRACIE??? o__0

On the same theme-DU, not Baldwin-I just came across this gem:

I went to buy a head of cabbage at the store today...and ended up choosing something else because I simply don't trust it.

Is there ANYTHING that turdburger hasn't fucked up??

It must be a well kept secret, but not all small planes are Cessnas. Ironically (or maybe not) this particular plane had a large parachute as a safety device.

I heard about that.

Was escaping from the aircraft even a possibility at that point?

Hey - Just came across the wire that Howard Dean surrendered to George Steinbrenner five minutes ago.

I can't believe that on this post I am forced to write this: Shannon Briggs isn't an underacheiver. He is a shitty boxer. Golota is a very good boxer but he has a heart as weak as young Klitscho's chin.

Precedent, of sorts:

At 9:49 a.m. on Saturday July 28, 1945, a B-25 Mitchell bomber flying in a thick fog accidentally crashed into the north side [of the Empire State Building between the 79th and 80th floors. 14 people killed, including the entire plane crew.

Gerard

The parachute in this plane is (I believe) attached to the plane itself, to let it come down at a survivable rate.

Hey, you got Deadspun.

When I first heard the news about the airplane-into-high-rise crash, like everyone I wondered if it could be an act of terrorism. I wondered if the day/date was significant in any way? It caused me concern when I realized that if October 11, 2006 is written as 10/11/6 and is then flipped vertically (upside down) and then horizontally, the date becomes 9/11/01. As we learned, the crash was a tragic accident and this trick of numbers was merely a fluke.
