Quote:
"23 years ago, shortly after 9 am, American Airlines Flight 587 crashed into a residential neighborhood in Rockaway Queens.
In light of the fact that this was exactly two months and one day after the 9/11 attacks, all of us who responded to the incident thought that we were contending with another terrorist attack.
Authorities eventually blamed a combination of equipment failure and poor training as the cause of the crash.
260 people (passengers and crew) as well as five people on the ground were killed.
May they continue to rest in peace".

Yes, many of us remember watching news coverage of this event and thought we were under attack again and where would they strike next.
