which is where they were headed with lots of talk about 911 and how events like this scare NYers. Finally, when the sad accident nature of this was evident they moved on.

I would also like to say, it's my read on the incident that, when the pilot knew he was in trouble he deliberately landed on top of a building rather than crash down on 7th Ave. which would've certainly been catastrophic. THe lesser of two bad choices.

RIP...
