I'm actually somewhat ok with that. It's really no different than a
restricted area over a disaster sight. Keeps the idiots away. Why this
is more news than any other small airplane crash is beyond me, though.

why it is more news than any other crash is quite understandable though;
I mean, come on: an airplane crashing into tall buildings in New York.
Even considering the very short memory of the average joe in this country,
it is bound to create an interest. Now you know, like most of us on
this newsgroup, that it shouldn't be as big a deal as made by the media,
but this is unavoidable. And we should be paying attention too, for
a different reason: let's brace ourselves for how this is going to be
spun by our beloved politicians, in particular all these mayors with
