Yeah it's just an accident that can potentially kill dozens of people, no biggie :roll:

Wow, whole dozens of people dead? In a city of 9 million or so people? Good God the humanity!!!

People die every minute in this country. It's unavoidable and it's not important. If it actually is important to you then you need a hobby.

And is each one not a tragedy? 😕

How many people must die before it's worth paying attention to?

MSNBC is now reporting that the helicopter looked distressed before it went down.

There is a helipad down the street and tons of hospitals. Probably just a regular old chopper accident. :roll:
 
bummer.

hope the causalties are low.

is there any reason for the accident? pilot error? breakdown or wht?
 
I knew something like this would happen.

Someone terrorist could crash a small plane into a building because they don't screen you if your plane weighs less than 100,000lbs dry (as most private jets do).
 
damn.. I wonder how many renters' insurance policies were just took out prior to this:

"The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street ? a 50-story condominium tower built in 1986 and located nearby Sotheby's Auction House. It has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million."

Why would it be a tragedy? Is death not a funadamental and unavoidable part of life? Honestly, I'm just trying to be realistic about this. It's a tragedy for the people that knew the deceased. For the rest of us it really doesn't matter.

I guess I just don't understand why people get so worked up over death. It happens, get over it already.

A tragic, unplanned death is hardly comparable to natural death

In an ideal world, everyone would live into their 90s, with full and happy lives and then suddenly die painless deaths. Everything else should be considered regrettable at the least.

WNBC just announced that the FAA just changed the story to a fixed wing aircraft on visual flight rules and not in contact with any ATC. Very interesting....

so then I take it that if there is a dead child in all this or the death of those Amish girls does not constitute a tragedy in your eyes?

You still haven't explained why I, as an unrelated observer, should care. How does this affect me? Why should I find it important? In what way is this relevant to my life? Etc..
 
Meh two helicopters crashed into the river last year (both in the same week)... I'm not too worried.

That being said, one more plane and im peacing outta here...

You don't just fly into a building "by accident" in good visibility. This was intentional.

You might if you had an engine failure or midair collision or part of your plane fell off. In other words, stfu until more facts are available.
