They say small private multi-engine plane
I swear, I wish they'd wait to report stuff until it's absolutely certain. I *just* heard someone say helicopter!
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Reuters says:
Several helicopters have crashed over the years into or near the rivers flanking Manhattan.
How...comforting. A good friend of mine used to live at 72nd/York. I'm so glad she moved to Queens!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And NBC helpfully adds:
Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and burning and falling debris was seen.
No shit, a loud noise? And falling debris? That's some crack reporting, right there.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

What is even happening?
Bloody hell. I hope they are right it is a small aircraft. Last time I heard a small aircraft, those were the first reports from the Pentagon hit, people saying it was a small private plane...
That's what they were saying hit the WTC five years ago, too. I remember Brokaw (I think, one of the major network anchors, anyhow) questioning the accuracy of an eyewitness who said it was a jet.

And it's not even the good crack.

These buildings are less than half the size the towers were -- this was not a jet.

Yikes.
And here I was coming to post about my cursive freezing in its juvenile, extra curly bits state since I lost interest in improving my writing round about seventh grade.
