Also the fire is already out but the "fire" in the cam is still lit. Someone's just having fun at your expense. Or you're trying to have fun at ours.

Yes it should be - the webcam above the fire should have "witnessed" the crash across the river. I checked it earlier on and it was raining in sheets. Now where are those flames coming from? Webcam 1 (looking the other way) shoes no fire but it's zoomed way out.

I don't have the connection quality to run the tower cam - I'm 50 miles off the coast of Nova Scotia currently.

Not really, too many buildings in the way and too far away with today's visibility.

doesnt look very convincing for fire. it could be a bright light reflecting off of rain water on the glass.

We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde comes on at five
She can tell you 'bout the plane crash with a gleam in her eye
It's int'resting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

Sorry all you self-righteous types, but I agree with the point that this is something that happens every day. It's only sad to you because it's a celebrity at the wheel, and it hit a plane in New York, causing mass panic etc.

One baseball player flies his private plane into a building: tragedy
Hundreds of thousands killed in Darfur or Iraq: Leave me alone, I'm trying to watch Lost

This must be hard on the club and fans, especially now that the Yankee's season has gone down in flames.

I heard the other guy in the plane was a flight instructor. Later on I'll express some sympathy, but right now I'm pissed at the lack of competence.

You forgot leap years. So it's actually 63 months, 6+3 = 9, think about that.

Quoted for asshole.

While everyone is pouring out their hearts and prayers for the people who died in the plane crash, why don't you do a little more pouring for the people who randomly get killed for being in the wrong place at the wrong time which happens EVERY DAY.

Right, but why make snood remarks about them too?

That's your second "snood." Do you even know what it means? It's a flap of skin that hangs from the top of a turkey's beak.

I think he means snide.
