    The plane has crashed near the USS Intrepid across from 42nd St and there are early reports of some survivors.

    We went by there yesterday on our way back from PA. Amazing. The Lincoln Tunnel is nearby.

    A LOT of people here got 9/11 flashbacks.

    The flight was headed to Charlotte.

    This reminds me of that scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Y'know, the one when Indy's dad starts flapping his umbrella at a bunch of seagulls, which then take off and bring down a German fighter plane.

    That is, if birds actually brought down the plane in question here.

    Fox reports that they believe that all the people aboard the plane have been rescued. The birdstrike took out both engines on the Airbus A320 and the pilot had to ditch in the river.

    "Government officials do not believe the crash is related to terrorism."

    I dunno, I wouldn't be so sure, I've heard of Jihad Geese before.
