Humint Events Online: The 10/11/6 Plane Crash

The 10/11/6 Plane Crash

Small plane hits NYC hi-rise building at 20th floor.

Fire, but no building collapse.

Damage to the building, but nothing close to a silhouette shape of a plane on the building facade (brick).

Witness said some debris fell to the street.

At least 2 dead.

Type of plane unknown.

Cause unknown.

NORAD scrambled jets following the crash.

Pictures below at Update 5.

UPDATE 1: "It looks as if the aircraft didn't go into the building but fell down," she said. "It may be part of the debris burning on the ground."

Imagine that!

Also: "The FAA indicates that it was a two-engine plane flying under "visual rules"--not in contact with any tower. CNN reported that the plane had taken off from Teterboro Airport in Bergen County, New Jersey."

UPDATE 2: The fire is out.

Also, this photo appears to show a burning wing on the street.

NY Times is reporting 2 people were dead on the street, I'm betting the people in the plane.

While obviously this could all be a freak accident, it's still amazingly unusual to have a plane crash into a hi-rise building.

Now reports are saying the building was 50 stories, and it looks as though the crash was about the 40th floor.

NY Times BREAKING: Yankees Pitcher Cory Lidle Was Killed in the Plane Crash, High-Ranking City Official Says.

CNN BREAKING: the plane belonged to Lidle and his passport was found in the street.

UPDATE 3: First responders to the New York plane crash say an emergency call was made from the plane indicating a possible fuel problem.

New York Yankees Manager Joe Torre told CNN that the plane that was a Cirrus SR-20 registered to team pitcher Cory Lidle.


The Cirrus is a dinky prop plane, as seen here.

UPDATE 4: they're saying 4 deaths now.

LOTS of plane debris on the gorund, as seen here and here.

Armored police with automatic weapons were guarding the crash scene.

Yahoo slideshow here.

This story now says three people inside the building died.

UPDATE 5: They're saying it was Lidle.

Oddest part is, as pointed out in comments, the date is an inverse of 9/11/01.

Pictures:




UPDATE 6: I saw Mayor Bloomberg say on TV that the plane's engine block was found in one of the apartments-- so this was no glancing blow, with the plane just bouncing off. There was some penetration.

The one somewhat suspicious thing about Lidle is that he was a bit of a MLB outcast, in that he broke with the player's union during the strike in 1995. If there was a set-up here, could this be part of the motive?

The passport on the street is odd. Do pilots normally carry a passport when they fly?

UPDATE 7: 9/11 blogger says FoxNews said this incident will help Republicans by reminding everyone of 9/11 again. Predictably nauseating, though it does suggest a motive for this being a set-up!

Good point, fatty. You know, I didn't think of that!

I would say this is a freak accident EXCEPT for the very odd coincidence of the date being upside down and backwards of 9/11/01. What on earth are the odds of these dates being like this where both days had airplanes crash into NYC towers?

Go back to playing your video games, you idiot.

May the families of those who died today never see this site of yours, you @#$%ing soulless asshole.

I think the building a few blocks a way should mysteriously collapse because of being hit by debris.

Also, you're very unfair spooked. This was burning PROPELLER fuel, not burning JET fuel. Apples and oranges.

I guess Conspiracy Smasher and Sword of Truth will explain why the lobby of this building didn't blow up.

I guess the sub basement didn't blow up.

I wonder how many firefighters reported explosions this time.

Hmmmm.

So, Conspiracy Smasher and Sword of Truth, it looks like this is quite different from 9/11. Let's hope Popular Mechanics explains how this building withstood the horrible onslaught of the attacking plane. I'd call you guys morons, but I wouldn't want to offend morons. Maybe you're just stupid.

Spooked thinks an admitted neo-nazi like Killtown is a better authority on building collapse than an actual structural engineer.

And you think 'Smasher and I are the idiots?

I know not of what you speak. Killtown has done almost no work on the WTC collapses. It's not his area, and I have never promoted anything he's done on the collapses-- I don't even know of any work he's done on the WTC collapses.

Spook, I notice that you don't deny KKKilltowns neo-nazi leanings. It appears that you are aware of this yet still choose to associate with him.

You've already stated that you consider actual engineers to be useless. If you ask KKKilltown and an engineer what caused the collapse of the towers, we know you will go with what the nazi says.

Bottom line, you take the word of a Hitler lover over one who has studied skyscrapers in university.

sword you are as full of shit as they come! you still have not provided any link to any of your all important structural engineers.
who cares whether killtown is a hitler lover or not - i bet that he is not but how can that possibly have any bearing on the fact that the 9/11 commission stated and i quote "wtc2 collapsed totally in 10 seconds".

one who has studied skyscrapers in university

and whom would that be exactly?
i would be happy to read the word of such a one. why does sword continue to neglect simply posting a link to such?

If you wanted links, why didn't you simply ask?
