Milan Skyscraper Hit
 
For those of you who don't know, i plane went into a skyscraper in Italy today. Apparently though it was an accident, the pilot claimed to be having technically difficulties with the plane ( He died in the crash). Either way this brought out some old memories of the sept 11 attacks. The plane that went in was not very big at all, it caused some damage but it was minimal compared to sept 11. 5 people were killed and 30 people were injured. Apparently if the plane had of struck 1 hour earlier alof more people would of died.

It truly is a sad a day, for all Italians.

Yes, that's a very sad story. Good to see such compassion, Surfacing.

Yea this is a very sad thing. When I saw that on the news I was like OMG :eek: this is not happening again? Since I live in the U.S I know what they are thinking now. But I don't think this crash was a tarrost attack. I heard it was engin trouble. My simpathys for the Italiens.:(

I was quite surprised at that. I expected him to say something like, 'But who cares about them when poor whales are being hunted into extinction!' but he didn't!

Well done, Leon!

Although no-one will care, Leon got the figures wrong. Acording to BBC news, 3 people died in the plane, and 12 people were injured in the building. Aparently the pilot was 65 years old, and his plane was on fire before he crashed. However, other pilots think it's very strange that he crashed into a building, rather then trying to make an emergency landing nearby.

Very strange...........no black box found?

Sid, it's not that i don't show compassion, i do. It's just i show it to different things than you do. And Gluck stop acting so surprised.

Nah, we just thought your lack of compassion for the whales was heartless or something. If the guy was 65, that old, so just get the figures right next time...

I did'nt mention how old the pilot was. Also i got those figures off my newspaper, so it really was my paper that was wrong not me.

Majic 04-20-2002 12:20 AM

Get a better paper next time then....

The hearld sun, is one of the best papers in Aus. Beside's all papers had said the same thing.

This is a very dramatic event and it seems like these types pf things because of sept.11, will never be at an end, even if it was an accident peace must be found.............

Danny 04-20-2002 11:07 AM

I wonder if every plane crash from now on will have to be compared to the 11/9 (I'm in Britain :D) crash...

As for Leon, you guys are never satisfied, are you? He should be encouraged to show a little humanity now and again, so don't attack him when he does...

I heard that it wasn't an accident, but that the pilot intended to commit suicide. It's a shame he chose to take the lives of others in addition to his own.

Milan is famous for its catwalks. Does anyone else love fashion shows where they show the models dressed in those crazy garments?

I would find it more amusing if people would actually wear that kind of thing in real life...

What does that have to do with that??!!!Anyway,I would help them but,I don't live in Italy:(

morphius 04-20-2002 03:21 PM

Meaning was it really an accident...........

Teal 04-20-2002 03:28 PM

Did the pilot have a point to make, I wonder, and thought he'd make it at the same point that he killed himself?

Jacob 04-20-2002 03:39 PM

Could have been suicide according to the mans 1 of 2 sons.

Teal 04-20-2002 03:43 PM

Yeah, that's what I was referring to, kind of. As in "well, if I'm going to kill myself, I'll make a point while I'm at it." What the point could have been, I don't know...

morphius 04-20-2002 10:18 PM

I really do not think though that the pilot was suicidal because it take a lot to crash into a big building and on top of take other people with you, so since I cant prove it wrong I will entertain its possibility but does anyone have information about this event.....more than the world news would tell you?

Jacob 04-20-2002 11:27 PM

Yes, i do. I have infomation from the Aliens at Roswell that the 'Man' who actually flew into the building was actually a evil clone of Hitler sent by the Evil Alien dictator 'Hit-larious'. My-o-My...i am now moist with anticipation.
