Author Topic: Major Plane Crash in New York Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-12-2001 08:50 AM                        Flt 587 from NY to Santo Domingo Crashed in Queens at 9:15 Stay Tuned.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-12-2001 08:56 AM                        All New York Airports Closed all bridges and tunnels in NY area have been closed. Plane was an Airbus which holds 350 people. Do not know if this is due to terrorism at this time.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 11-12-2001 09:44 AM                     Current reports have 252 passengers and crew on board . CNN is reporting that an engine fell off first, then the airplane crashed (leading us to believe it was an accident).  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-12-2001 01:36 PM                        New York is open again.....They do not believe terrorism was involved. Airports have reopened as well as bridges and tunnels.  |  IP: Logged Rachel Gilardi Madam Moderator Posts: 2214 From: Peabody, MA, USA Registered: Dec 2007 posted 11-12-2001 02:32 PM                     So far (3:28pm) there are 6 adults reported missing on the ground. 161 Bodies recovered, none living. They believe the pilot dumped gasoline over Jamacia Bay. FBI Reports: There was an explosion on the plane in the air. This is so sad, thank god we have people who care, and keep on caring such as the NY firefighters, NY police officers, all the volenteers, and the port autority police officers.  |  IP: Logged Charles Everett Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: New Jersey Registered: May 2001 posted 11-12-2001 05:32 PM                     Rachel appears to be correct: According to an AP dispatch posted on Drudge Report mechanical failure seems to be why the plane crashed. In other words, the pilot wouldn't be dumping jet fuel if a bomb was aboard. BTW, on that "recount" story, Drudge Report got it right. The New York Times and the Washington Post got it WRONG!  |  IP: Logged Ken Lackner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1907 From: Atlanta, GA, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 11-12-2001 06:41 PM                     I was half listening to the news and I heard them say flights won't be going out of NY until Wed. at the earliest. How can that be if the airports are open again??  |  IP: Logged Rachel Gilardi Madam Moderator Posts: 2214 From: Peabody, MA, USA Registered: Dec 2007 posted 11-12-2001 07:32 PM                     Ken, Last I heard the airports were only open for incoming traffic, no planes were to go out. But that was a couple of hours ago.  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 11-12-2001 08:25 PM                        Planes started going out at 6:30PM tonight  |  IP: Logged Paul G. Thompson The Weenie Man Posts: 4718 From: Mount Vernon WA USA Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-12-2001 10:42 PM                     Sounds like it may have blown an engine. If the pilot was dumping fuel, he was trying to lighten the aircraft up so it could fly on one engine. Just a theory. But I have to admit when I heard of it, my first reaction was for the safety of Bob Maar.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony. Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 11-12-2001 10:50 PM                     Strange that you mention that, Paul. I had the same thought the moment I heard about it.  |  IP: Logged Chad Souder Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 962 From: Waterloo, IA, USA Registered: Feb 2000 posted 11-12-2001 10:58 PM                     I'm so glad I live in Iowa. ------------------ "Asleep at the switch?

First, they said it was a Boeing 767, then a 727, that it was inbound from Florida, etc. I really think (in an effort to seem like they are on top of the story) they make things up, or totally belive anything anyone says. They always say, "Unconfirmed reports say..." to cover themselves, but that's no excuse. These are tough times people are going through; more care should be taken. Some journalists seem to only want to make a name for themselves. I miss Walter Cronkite.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 11-13-2001 01:30 AM                        My thoughts were also of Bob Maar, because his post was the first place I heard the bad news, less than an hour after it reportedly happened. After that I decided to check some of the news sites.  |  IP: Logged
