CNN crash video as capture by USCG
Apparently the Coast Guard has some sort of video camera running
that captured the impact of the Cirrus against the building. CNN has posted it on their website under "Watch Video". The video is of poor quality but you can definitely see the explosion upon impact. David |

CNN crash video as capture by USCG
The link to the video on CNN is a directly below the article on the
Canadian troops fighting Taliban militants in Afghanistan that have stumbled across an almost impenetrable forests of marijuana plants 10 feet tall. Forest? Stumble? What would Forest Gump do? |

CNN crash video as capture by USCG
I watched the video last night. The explosion is visible, but the aircraft
prior to impact is not visible, at least to my eyes. I watched it several times. 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. First it was a helicopter or an airplane, then a cessna and finally a Cirrus. The newsroom computers must not have a Fact-Checker along with the Spell-Checker. At least they didn't say a four seat Piper Cub. I've heard that before. ron "FLAV8R" wrote in message ...

I discounted those reports the moment I heard them, since loss of control could easily be mistaken for aerobatics to the untrained eye. Unfortunately, one of the first sound bites on CNN was that of an otherwise astute eyewitness who was supposedly a pilot. He stated that it looked to him like the aircraft was doing aerobatics just before the crash. Coming from a pilot, that was the absolute wrong thing to say, given the implications of the comment to the general, non-GA experienced public. -- Peter |

All political/media issues aside, think for a minute about what you would have done at the controls in that situation. -c |

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. 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 |
