Probably to keep the curious away.

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.

As long as it doesn't become permanent (DC, anyone?)

NY City, which is really still deeply scarred from 9/11, experiences
another aircraft crashing into a building. It is understandable why there
was a sensationalistic reaction.

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
ADIZ-envy...

I was more speaking about the reaction here. It's all over the news,
everyone at work has been asking me about it. Same thing happened in
Tampa in 2001, and didn't cause this much talk. Whenever the media
publicizes a "celebrity" dying in a small plane crash, it hurts GA.

Tampa is quite a bit different from New York City, particularly with respect to
the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which also involved airplanes crashing into tall
buildings.

I am in total agreement.

That's pretty much SOP for any accident.

The unnoticed action in this accident is the scramble by NORAD, over a
single incident of damage involving 4 windows in an apartment
building... What is next, scrambling when some kid falls off a swing?
How gutless and knee jerk predictable we have become... Any boxer will
tell you that when you can get your opponent to react consistently and
predictably you have the fight won...
The jihadists are winning because we are busily destroying our free
society in response to them - and that is what they are after and
happily watching as we do 'their work'...
