![]() "Ron Snipes" wrote in message .. . What I was looking for was whether the aircraft was doing aerobatic manuvers or not. The eyewitnesses said acrobatic, and the news geeks kept repeating acrobatic. Mayor Bloomburg said it right, since he's a pilot. CNN showed a witness on the ground saying that the airplane hit the building belly-first because they seemed to be trying to avoid the buildings. All political/media issues aside, think for a minute about what you would have done at the controls in that situation. -c |

building belly-first because they seemed to be trying to avoid the buildings. All political/media issues aside, think for a minute about what you would have done at the controls in that situation. What kind of wind speed goes through that area with all the buildings around? Enough to force the plane belly first into a building? -- Mike Flyin'8 PP-ASEL Temecula, CA http://flying.4alexanders.com |

Some of the early "witness reports" cited were pretty amazing in their detachment from reality. My favorite was probably the people that saw the helicopter clearly before it crashed into the building. - Andrew |
