Oh how things have changed

I'm just watching the BBC News and the reaction to a light plane (or helicoptor) crashing into a New York building is all consuming. It is a tragic accident - absolutely, but so is the train crash in France today.

However - such is the hysteria around anything that you can tag the word terrorism to (not helped by the media) - that what looks to me like a simple accident gets blanket coverage. If it genuine - I will eat humble pie and be duly concerned - but for now I will just changed channel. Probably to the next 'exclusive report'.

UPDATE - No terrorist alarm - the pilot was a private pilot and it was a genuine accident and tragedy. And just to make sure there was a suitably American sub plot - the pilot was a pitcher for the New York Yankees.
