10/11 in NYC today

9:35 PM Israel Time; All indications continue to point to this incident as an accident, but terror has not been ruled out.

9:32 PM, Israel time. NORAD launching fighter aircraft to provide air patrol coverage around several US cities as a precautionary measure.


Terror related? 10.11 plane/helicopter hits residential building on 72cnd street/York Ave.

Im sitting in my chair in my living room, as a I get an SMS message of a plane hitting a building in NY.

TV is on, watching on 5 channels at the same time. A 50 story condominium residential tower. 52 E 7scnd st.

Fire and emergency vehicles racing to scene...

Recollections going through my head. Im going to post this and keep watching.

Wherever I am, my blog turns towards Eretz Yisrael

  3. It wasn't a terrorist attack, as bec noted above, the plane was being piloted by a Yankees pitcher. People on the ground said they saw the plane having difficulties before it crashed. Lidle has, or had, a wife and a six year old boy. The police haven't released anything about the other passenger yet. Thankfully no one inside the building was killed.

  4. Lidle tossed a wild pitch, unfortunately.
