Just reported that a small engine plane crashed into a Skyscraper in Milan Italy
And 75 year old Swiss pilots reporting engine problems are really psychopathic Muslims on Jihad sucide missions.
Right. If your control problems are so bad that you cannot avoid a clearly visible tall building, then you are not going to be flying straight and level either.
For this to have happened by accident, ALL controls would have to have been out. Otherwise the plane could have been crabbed or banked enough to avoid the building. If the plane had two engines, you could even have avoided the building simply by changing throttle controls.
To say a plane hit the most prominent building in that part of Italy, straight on, straight and level, with plenty of visibility, by accident is pure BS.
Some will say it is still possible this was a freak accident. Since anything can be possible if you accept high enough odds, I will say your odds of winning the lottery, twice, are better. If you want to find a benign explanation, pilot suicide for personal reasons is your best bet (which should not be ruled out).
Remember, if the public can be made to believe that it was an accident, then the terrorists will have failed in a big part of their mission: Cause terror.
If YOU were in charge, would you help the terrorists succeed, or would YOU try to deny them the result they crave. It is obvious what is going on.
BTW: Don't give me any of that "you are not an expert" crapola. I've spent lots of time flying in the Air Force, and what I just posted is obvious to anyone who knows how to fly.
Sounds like a Arab Beer Commercial doesn't it? ;-)
If the 9/11 attacks had started 1 hour later, the death toll would have been much higher. So why didn't the terrorists plan for an attack later in the day? Perhaps it has something to do with opportunity. You don't just get in a plane and take off whenever you want. At least I don't think you can do that.
Unbelievable. I hope some will call the station and give them hell for that idiotic statement.

Unless this guy was (and probably he is 112 by now) blind, there's no way he could have NOT seen this building. And if he KNEW he was having problems BEFOREHAND, why would he WAIT until it was too late, KNOWING that he was probably gonna die anyway, take out a building with him? This isn't adding up to any "accident".
Next we will hear dense fog, no humidity and winds NW at 33 mph.
