I'm reading about it now. It appears that witnesses said that they saw an explosion coming from the right side of the aircraft shortly after takeoff. The flight was going to my homeland of the Dominican Republic. I checked with my family to see if any family members were going to DR and might of been on that flight. Happy to report, that no family members of mine were on board. Still a tragedy though.

It appears the engine fell off. Mechanical problems. Such a tragic event. I fear more and more everyday about flying. It sucks when shit like this happens. I don't even let my parents fly.

Unhappy Fuckin' A...

Yeah, I heard about this on the way back from a job site in Litchfield. This is the most detailed information I have gotten my hands on so far. An engine fell off? I have trouble believing that. Sounds like more terrorist activity to me. Guess we'll see as more information unfolds. But this is unbelievable. Why are they so fucking hard on NYC?

I doubt it's a terrorist attack. To low profile to subtle that's not their style. I think it is just coinsidence, mechanical failure.

Angry Not buying it...

Why American Airlines again?
Why New York City again?
Why on Veteran's Day?
Why following a weekend where we handed the Taliban a major military defeat?

Hey, G, I hope you're right. I hope it is mechanical failure. But it sure as shit doesn't look that way to me.

I believe it to be mechanical failure. Airbus A300 are problem prone and I've seen this happen before. I don't think we should rush to a terrorist attack until there is definite, conclusive proof that it's otherwise. Remember, the only time a plane can be in trouble is durning take off's and landings. This being during take off, could show something went wrong mechanically. I doubt a terrorist would want to just make an engine fall off considering these aircraft are built to fly with one engine. So let's be patient and see what the officials come up with.

yep also heard there was a similar accident in the US in the 80s or 90s, where an engine fell off thus causing the crash......I agree with DVS...wait till the officials come up with conclusive evidence either way...

This is so sad that NY'ers have to go thru this AGAIN. They (and everyone else too) are still trying to come to terms with the events of Sept. 11.....and weird how close this was to the 2 month mark Just sad that this happens when people are just starting to have faith in air travel again and on a holiday

i think it is terrorist, i'm not 100% sure though i'm like 70/30 split on it
it's not like engines fall off planes all the time

like how often does somethin like that happen..... i think there are lots of people that hate america that work at airports, so somebody could have just messed somethin up on purpose while the plane was still on the ground
