CNN Story
Even tho it turned out that it wasn't a terrosist attack, this had to make alot of people in the New York area nervous. Watching some of the coverage i wonder if we'll ever know what caused this crash.

TSN reported that there was a Mayday, saying that he was having problems wiht fuel or somthing along those lines.
^^ True enough, but without a black box, which private planes don't normally have, unless they find something in the wreckage i don't thing there'll ever be a solid answer to why the plane crashed.
