American flight down in Queens

Just happened, let’s hope it’s not another “event”.

Considering what happened last time, I hope this isn’t one of several simultaneous attacks. Actually, I hope it’s just an accident.

Fucking hell. Just when you thought things couldn’t get any worse.

There’s a tiny amount of news (up to 361 passengers on board) on http://www.thisislondon.co.uk. All the major news sites seem to be swamped.

Information is coming in thick and fast over at MPSIMS:

Oops, sorry. Mods, where’s the proper place to put info like this? I looked at general questions and then posted here.

Yeah, the MPSIMS thread has more info. Sounds like it was either headed for or coming from Santo Domingo and impacted 4 residential buildings in Queens. May have had an engine fall off shortly before crashing.

Since this is being discussed in the MPSIMS thread referenced above, I’ll close this one down.
