I just heard 4 people dead, but maybe 3 were in the building.

Now I just heard 2 people total.

Where's Linda? Isn't she supposed to start these threads?

Man, Mayor Bloomberg has a delicate way with words (quote from the NY Times):

“It’s very tragic,” Mr. Bloomberg said. “We have to say a little prayer for those we lost, the two human beings whose lives were snuffed out.”

Conventional wisdom is that new pilots are most likely to screw up badly enough to kill themselves in the first 100 hours of flight time. (New motorcycle, experienced cyclist or not, 1000 miles.) Instructor or not, what the hell was a n00b doing in that particular airspace?

The closest I came to dying in a small airplane was with a guy with less than 60 hours flying time. (He was a quick study, and practiced with the first release of MS flight simulator.)
