1. That's a shitty place to crash (not that a crash is ever good). Valujet went down out there

and all they found were some bits of luggage. No plane, no bodies, nothing.

4. Reminds me of 9/11 in one small way.

I was working on the 17th floor of some building in NYC. Someone had a radio on that said a plane hit the world trade center. It was a nice clear day and I never imagined it would be anything bigger than a puddle jumper. Boy was I wrong. Hopefully this news is just a baseless rumor.
