Absolutely no confirmation of anything other than accident.

Wait until we know what's going on before speculation flies.
Just remember right now, that families lost people on that plane.
That's the only thing worth mentioning at this point.

Sky News and CNN.COM:

It is understood the plane was an Airbus A300 and suffered engine failure shortly after taking off from JFK airport.


Reports say the aircraft may have been carrying up to 246 passengers.

The jet, thought to be flight 587, was heading to Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic when it came down in Queens, in the south of the city.

There are reports the plane hit a number of buildings near Rockaway beach.

The incident comes two months after the US terrorist attacks on the US.

Security chiefs said there was no evidence of terrorist activity but all airports in New York have now been closed as a precautionary measure.

A huge plume of smoke is rising above the New York skyline as the wreckage burns.

The Dow Jones dropped 200 points as news of the crash reached the markets.

Very sad news - it was a U.S passenger jet. No matter what is was really, nothing like this should have taken place.

If this is proved as a planed attack, I pitty the fools who brought this situation in-hand. If it were, we all have a very clear idea of who it was.

Exactly Meka.

200+ people died.
Why?
Let's not start bandying about "Well if it was then Bin Laden" etc, because the only we know for sure right now is 200+ families have had their lives shattered today.

Terrorist attacks aside, I knew this was going to happen.

How?

It always does around Christmas - I seem to remember it every year for at least the last 5. November/December - plane crash.

Still to come are a train accident and a coach leaving the road in poor conditions.

This is not a poor attempt at humour; something like this always happens in the run up to Christmas, particularly with aircraft.

I just heard this on the radio at work.

They've said that the American Aviation Society (or something like that) has said they don't know what caused the crash.

Here's hoping it was an accident as opposed to something else...

But Meka and Goaty are right. 200+ families have had their lives ruined, isn't Thanksgiving about now in the US? What a terrible time for this to happen...
