I heard on MSN that it was a helicopter, and that it was not a terrorist act.

He was obviously trying to ditch in the East River---made the last circle but miscalculated the route---It's a shame. Eyewitness said it was a small private plane. Most likely he was taking off form La Guardia---about 6 miles away.

kaoos: It has been determined it was a small fixed wing aircraft and not a helicopter...as far as the terrorist act...seems too early to rule that out...until it's learned why the plane was flying so low and made that radical turn...I hope it was only an accident! I just hope as I said...that not too many people were killed or home at the time of the crash..

Yeah, he probably lost the engine shortly after take off---When that happens you have to glide the plane in and in this case, the East River would have been the safest place to land. Unfortunately, you usually fly in a circular motion when you try to hit your landing spot---he obviously didn't have a good sense of how high the building were in that part of the city---Some of them are over 40 stories.

The other possibility was that he was trying to head back to the airport----that the engine hadn't completely failed but it was in the process.

I can't blame New Yorkers for feeling a bit uneasy though after 911...

Yeah, they wouldn't make that one up. Lots of these players have the money and the time to learn how to fly.

UPDATE

The plane left New Jersey’s Teterboro Airport, just across the Hudson River from the city, at 2:30 p.m., about 15 minutes before the crash, according to officials at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the airport. But they said they did not where the aircraft was headed.
