Plane Flies Into Building

Looks like he flew directly into a window - that's where I'd be going in a flight sim.

It says in the story that two floors of windows were shattered but if you look at the picture, one window is smashed. Pretty good flying if that's where he was aiming. He was probably trying to land in there.

I'm betting on the suicidal kid story.

[Provost Harrison]

Well the damage doesn't look too great fortunately, with it being a weekend there should, hopefully, not be many people in there. Obviously all those on the plane will be dead.

[Kassiopeia]

Yeah, at least the pic on http://www.tampatrib.com/ shows that the plane went right through a window, and that only two offices were damaged.
If the kid was thinking of making serious damage to the building while doing a showy suicide, he'd be disappointed.

What kind of ****ty security do you have that a 15 year old can steal a plane, take off, and crash into a building?

Why was a helicopter alerted which had no means of stopping him??

Is it better for dozens of people to die in when he crashes or one lunatic?

[Asher]

I'll try to explain this to you, since you're used to a more military-ready state since you stole some land from the Palestinians. But here goes.

The 15 year old had a license that he COULD fly planes, but only with someone else with him. Why wouldn't they let a kid with a license into the hanger?

It was nearby, perhaps?

How many times has a child taken an airplane and crashed it intentionally into a skyscraper?

The authorities probably assumed it was a kid who really wanted to go flying.

Everythings easier in retrospect, Siro, don't be so cocky about it.

Er... just what exactly could a helicopter do to stop a plane? Do you expect Arnold Schwarzenegger to jump in to the plane and save the day?

Your trolls won't work. We didn't steal it.
If anything, you've been putting down muslim culture with your heretic culture!!

Why would they let him grab a plane if he's not allowed to fly alone?

Why a better armed heli wasn't called?

How many people have taken airplanes and crashed it intentionally into a skyscraper recently?
19!

Well he was infact a real danger to his enviroment.

Ok, I admit I'm too cocky. Sorry.

Still, I'd thought american's have learnt a lesson or two in making sure people who aren't supposed to get to dangerous things like planes, don't get into them.

Still, Israel is in better readyness !

Several weeks after Sept. 11 an unknown private plane was spotted in the sky. It was nearly shot down!

Luckaly they identified in time. It was a group of Rabbis, traditionally flying over Israel during the new year season to pray for and bless the land of Israel and it's citizens. They do it every year, but of all times, it was after Sept.11 that they forgot to coordinate the info with the police and airforce.

It would ahve been shame if they had been shotdown, but it would have been their own guilt.

I'm not American. Whoosh.

"Yeah, my instructor should be along any minute..."

Right, and the lackluster public security at american airports are directly responsible for it. Completely unrelated to this topic.

Well he was infact a real danger to his enviroment.

Part of what America values is freedom. They don't want to live in a military state like you, they want freedom. The chances of this happening are beyond remote, and hardly call for military-like security for all private airplanes.

Still, I'd thought american's have learnt a lesson or two in making sure people who aren't supposed to get to dangerous things like planes, don't get into them.

Small cessnas like this are totally useless, it only damaged 2 offices.

And you're constantly under attack by the Natives.

They did contact the plane.


Shooting it down would be absurd, since they where likely trying to talk to him and give him directions. It'd be better taking a chance then to shoot him down and ensure that the plane is destroyed, aswell as making it go down in a fireball into the middle of a street or something. And not to mention the general absurdity of using missles on such a small plane.

[Kropotkin]

I just have to say this: Only in America!

Obviously shooting your fellow schoolmates isn't cool anymore amongst kids. Planes into high buildings is the way to go nowadays.

I predict that the american 'Goth-trend amongst US trailer-trash/Ricky Lakes-guests will subside and all insecure teenagers will turn Muslim in yet another juvenile attempt to rebel against their parents.

Come on people, this is a terrorist attack. No dought about it. There is no way this could have happened if it was anything but a terrorist attack. This kid was a member of UBL's group of terrirists. Everyone needs to panic. We are all going to die.
