Airbus A300 took of from JFK and crashed 2 minutes after take off.
255 (246 Passengers, 9 crew) people on board, all believed dead.
At this time it is NOT thought to be a terrorist attack.
All US Airports have been closed as a security measure.

Some witnesses mentioned something about an explotion right before the crash. But it is all gonna be speculations for the moment. All the airports?, they just mentioned that the New York airports were closed.

I don't believe this is a terrorist act, just a terrible, terrible coincidence that bit happened in New York.

They think an engine blew up during take off.

Looks like it nay have been in the engine support strutt. Seems the engine may have come away from the wing.

A bird probably flew into the engine, is my guess. That is a nice way for me to wake up today. I turn on the radio, "Plane goes down in NY." I feel sick.🙁

giuliani says that an engine, or engine part, fell off before the plane crashed. i don't know, but it seems like an accident.

I doubt it was a terrorist attack, yet I don't doubt the Taliban will claim responsibility.

Taliban NEVER claimed any responsibility for anything. They are not a terrorist organisation.
Yes, the engine fell off and there are two crash sites in Queens: one of the engine, one of the plane itself.
Still odd, these planes can even fly on one engine.

The Taliban isn't a terrorist organization, huh? Explain that one, queeq.

well it isn't, it's just a really stupid, not-elected-by-the-people government.

They're terrorists. They may not lable themselves as terrorists. But any group of people that kills innocents without warning is a terrrorist.
