Naw...can't be related. None of the numbers involved have anything relating to 9 or 11...

Reports say the plane was bound for landing, which again makes it unlikely to be related. The planes used in September were freshly airborne for x-continental flight, which made them full of fuel. If this one was approaching for a landing anyway, it was probably pretty empty.

We'll see what happens, I guess...

From CNN:

An American Airlines plane has crashed in the Queens borough of New York City. The FAA identifies the flight as American flight 587, an Airbus A300 from JFK airport to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Thick smoke was billowing over the area, and local media reported several houses on fire. According to the Airbus Web site, the A300 has a seating capacity of 220-360 seats


This jet was just taking off.
