I heard some nut crashed a plane into a building again. Anyone got more up to date details yet? Just pictures of fire on CNN.

Yikes... when I first read the story, the picture of his face made it seem like he survived. But, after rereading it, I guess not.

And HB, he wasn't a nut (if by nut you mean terrorist, that is). Of course, we don't know why he did it... Could have been a mistake.

I'm not a Yankees fan (in fact, I hate them), but this is still very sad for baseball (besides being sad in general). :(

What about the building? Or the people in it?

21 got injured, mostly the firemen putting the fire out, but no one in the building was killed (it was a residential building, a rich one at that. The rooms destroyed were worth more than the plane). An eyewitness said they saw smoke coming from the plane's tail, so there could have been problems.

Fuel problems to be exact.
