246 families suddenly have to deal with that loss when this morning everything was fine.
Other than that? Wait and see.

Accidents happen, and when they do happen on this sort of scale, you must reflect, study and learn, not accuse, maim and murder more inocents, just in case.

Shouldn't happen with a plane though.
The amount of checks and stuff they do before each flight - in theory nothing should ever go wrong with a plane while it's in the air, unless humans intervene of course.
It's not like a car where it gets a quick service every 30,000 miles.

Tony Blair has reacted with horror to the latest air crash
He told reporters his "thoughts and prayers" are with the American people after a jet crashed in the borough of Queens.
"All I would like to say at this juncture is of course that our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the victims and with the American people."
He was speaking to reporters in his Downing Street offices after talks with India's Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
"We simply don't know any more details than that at this time...I don't think it is sensible of us, on the basis of the information which have, to speculate further."

And I mean Goaty vs Dognuts, not anything else....
Nope, I came to the realisation that you can shout until you're blue in the face, sometimes people will just stand there picking their nose and waiting for Neighbours to start.
The only info I can find about the crash is that "engine failure" is the most likely reason so far.
And I ain't gonna fight with Dognuts.
No point.

American Airlines Jet Crashes in N.Y.
By DIEGO IBARGUEN, Associated Press Writer
NEW YORK -- An American Airlines jetliner on its way to the Dominican Republic crashed moments after takeoff today in a residential neighborhood five miles from Kennedy Airport, authorities said. There was no immediate word on deaths or injuries.
The city was put on high alert, Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said. Fighter jets were seen flying over the area.
Bill Schumann of the Federal Aviation Administration said there was no immediate indication of what caused the crash, which came two months after two hijacked airliners brought down the World Trade Center.
All metropolitan area airports-- Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark, N.J.-- were closed after the crash, which took place in the Rockaway section of Queens. All bridges and tunnels into the city were closed except to emergency vehicles.
Flight 587, an Airbus A300 that can hold 275 people, went down shortly after 9 a.m in the waterfront neighborhood 15 miles from Manhattan, setting buildings on fire. A plume of thick, black smoke could be seen miles away. There was no immediate word on the number of people aboard the plane.
A U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said intelligence agencies, the FBI and the Federal Aviation Administration were reviewing all recent intelligence for any signs that terrorism was involved, but an hour after the crash there was no evidence pointing to an attack.
"They are comparing information to see if it provides any insight into what transpired. At this point, there's no indication of a terrorist attack, but it certainly can't be ruled out in the current environment," the official said.
Giuliani canceled his morning events and headed to the scene.
"Now we should focus all ourt efforts on finding survivors," the mayor said. Asked what he thought when he heard about the crash, he said: "Oh my God, Oh my God, and I just passed a church where I attended 10 funerals."
Triage centers were set up a high school and an elementary school, both of which were closed for the Veterans Day holiday.
Planes were being diverted to other airports, and Delta Air Lines spokeswoman Peggy Estes said the airline was working to account for all its planes.
The plane had been scheduled to leave at 8 a.m. and arrive in Santo Domingo at 12:48 p.m.
One witness reported debris falling from sky and told the Fox News Channel four homes were on fire.
"All of the sudden, I see an engine fall off, and it went to the side, and in 10, 15 seconds it went down," witness Kevin O'Rourke told WABC-TV. "An engine fell off."
Witness Phyllis Paul heard the engine. "It was very, very loud. Because of what happened Sept. 11, it gave me a chill," she told CNN. "It was getting louder and louder and I looked out the window. I saw a piece of metal falling from the sky."
The World Trade Center was destroyed by two Boeing 767s hijacked out of Boston's Logan Airport. One of the planes was operated by American, the other by United.
Airbus said American Airlines has a fleet of 35 A300s.
