Don't they have airspace restrictions on flights over the city still? Even if they don't I thought that smaller aircrafts needed to be 2-3k feet above the tallest building.
Something ain't right.
You could quite possibly and most likely be shot down flying where this was.
a. It really was a chopper... they fly over the rivers like LA durring a black out.
b. The plane was in distress.
c. and most unlikely... terrorist attack.
Conflicting reports coming out of all sorts of camps... wheather plane or chopper now. Either way fuel has spilled after the crash and the ground is on fire as well. FDR ramps being closed, so they shutting down the area.
From my viewpoint no way that's a chopper.
Superedit:
FAA called.... fixed wing aircraft.
