It is reported that another Passenger jet has crashed in New York. May God
protect us. Culled from the BBC. Please read on.

Have a good day, Gassa.

An American Airlines flight on its way to John F Kennedy airport has crashed
in New York.
At least four buildings in the Rockaway Beach area of the city's borough of
Queens are on fire.

It is not known why the aircraft crashed or how many people were on board,
or in the buildings now ablaze.

New York Mayor Rudolph Guiliani is on his way to the crash site and has
called a level one alert.

There is no indication at the moment that the crash is anything other than
an accident.

The weather was crystal clear when the plane - thought to be a Boeing 767 -
went down.

Both towers of the World Trade Center in New York were destroyed on 11
September after 767s were flown into them.

All three airports serving New York - JFK, Newark and La Guardia - are now
closed.

The Dow index dropped 200 points on hearing the news.
