the thing is in that area radius, small planes and helicopters are not restricted to fly near those buildings and they are not required to call the towers and neither does the tower require to call in the pilot which to me am very disturb to hear such practice still being tolerated AFTER 9/11! And with this horrific accident on the day of 10/11 is even more nerving. Although, i'm relieved it's not another terrorist attack it still angers me that the FCC tolerate small private aircraft to come that close to high rise apts. I've seen countless times of helicopters, Cessnas fly past my families and friends' windows and terrace like it's a game.
Gave one heck of a scare this afternoon, when all we heard was an unidentified aircraft crashed into a building in midtown! Equally scary when my building is considered terrorists hit list according to homeland security.
And i just got back from Europe and forgot all about our terrorist safety packages and drill
