Plane crash in Milan!
 
Has anyone heard about the plane crash in Milan? So sad that this has to happen!

Yes, they are saying it's an accident, but it looks suspicious to me. I'm sick to my stomach.

Rai television have said the pilot of a tourist plane put out an s.o.s 4 minutes before crashing into the side of an office building. The only dead reported is the pilot. The flames in the building are now under control. The accident happened at 17.30 the building closed at 16.30. Definitly an accident!!!

I don't know - - I realize it's almost irreverent to compare it to a troll here - - but the best trolls are the ones where you can't really tell!<BR>

Nothing indicates that it was terrorism. SOS from the pilot, only two people in the plane and so on. A very unfortunate accident.

I heard two people in the bldg were killed and 20 injured. They know who the pilot is, a 65-75 year old man. 75 years old and flying?? Thats as scary as terrorists!

Apparently the building is right next to the station!!!<BR>

No one believed that teen age girls could be suicide bombers at first either. Not so hard to conceive of a 75 year old being brainwashed into this, that or the other.<BR>

/<BR>&gt; "A number of witnesses said they saw flames coming from the plane before it hit, according to Italian radio. <BR>The pilot had radioed saying he had trouble with his landing gear."<BR><BR>Thus far it appears to be an unfortunate accident.<BR><BR><BR>
