Re: Plane Crashes into Building in Austin, TX

I've got to admit, I'm worried this was intentional.

It's the biggest building in the area. Unless you had no control at all, you would do your best to avoid it.

How many stories in the building?

 

Doesn't look like very many.

 

MSNBC said seven. Taller than anything near it. (It's off of a highway, not downtown.) But it's wide as well. It would be a very big target if you wanted to cause some damage. And they appear to have smashed right into it.

 

Said only two people are unaccounted for in the building, as of now.

 

Huge target, but not a skyscraper by any means.

TV said something about FBI building being next door.

 

Somebody also said something about the building being in the flight path for the nearby airport. So it would make some sense that if it were to hit a building, it would hit a big one.

 

They almost always get this wrong at first, but MSNBC says that a pilot who saw the plane thinks it was a Cherokee 140.



MSNBC's reporter thinks it must be a bigger plane because of the size of the fire.

 

IRS, CIA, & FBI have offices in the building.

Terrorism.

 

Witness: "Plane was flying so low, it almost hit him."

This was intentional. They were aiming for the building.

 

Witness who seems to know about planes (paraphrase): the plane was really low and it was hauling. It sounded like the engines were at full blast.
