New York Plane Crash


Will the misery never end for New York? Another BBC news special on when I get in this afternoon, and another plane on fire in New York rubble. You just wish there was something you could do.... I don't know whether it will be better or worse if this turns out to be "just" an accident. If that's the case, Americans will have a general fear that their planes aren't mechanically safe anyway, to add to their fear of terrorism. It makes you wonder if anyone in the US will ever want to fly again.
On a trivial, but related, note, ever since I saw the site of the crash named as Rockaway Beach, I've had a song of that (or similar) title going through my head. Was it The Ramones, or have I imagined it?
