CNN reports they found his passport near/among the wreckage.... for the record, Wolff Blitzer is being a total D O U C H E Bag about this incident....

 

[lava9611]

Wow! Hard to digest when this happens to high profile people. Especially in a place like New York, where it is even more high profile.

RIP

Reports say he declared an emergency with a fuel problem. An eyewitness says he saw the plane come down in a "zipzag" decent.

It sounds like maybe he ran out of fuel or some other fuel problem and then got occupyed and stalled it.

He was probably too low to pull the chute, but to bad he couldn't have. He was around buildings anyways so it might not have worked.

Thoughts go out to his family and Yankee nation

Miles O'Brien is an idiot, but at least he's a pilot and isn't completely talking out his ass. Fox is interviewing some idiot congresswoman who is promoting banning GA flight around NY. That's MUCH better! "There is absolutely no reason non-commercial flights should be flying around densely populated areas such as New York City." THAT'S a douc h ebag.

Why does everybody come on here and complain about the poor reporting on CNN, MSNBC, FOXNews, BBC America, Al Jazeera...etc.

What do you expect?

 

[mack82]

why is this in the regional section?

Maybe because he flies for SKYW.

 

[ReportCanoa]

Just wait for his widow to sue everyone, including the owner of the building, claiming it shouldn't have been there.

'Cause they haven't discovered PBS.

Because now you're stealing scope from the other side of the equation. /ducks

 

[av8tor02]

MACH82 your an idiot for saying that

Maybe because he flies for SKYW.

Was he flying the SR22 for C152 pay?


Bye Bye--General Lee
