One thing really bothers me about the news coverage of yesterday's tragic small plane crash in New York. When the email news alert came in a co-worker and I went to an empty conference room that has television and turned on the news. At least once every two minutes the news anchor and reporters assured us that "There is no evidence that this is terror related." While at the same time they were reporting that they weren't sure if the accident involved a plane or a helicopter, and they weren't 100% sure what floor the unidentified flying object struck the building.

Basically, they didn't know what happened or where it happened, and certainly not how it happened (we still don't know that) but they knew it wasn't terrorism.

I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that if an airplane crashes into a building in New York City I am going to assume it is probably terrorism until it's proven otherwise.
