Shit that flies has to stop falling into the Hudson River.

I'm certain it's because I have no concept of what it is like to fly a small plane (well, or a large one, but you take my meaning), but I don't know how a small plane can fly *into* a helicopter. Clearly each pilot could see the other craft. Since all involved are dead, and I don't think they have "black boxes" for these very small carriers, I don't know if we'll ever have an answer.

I remember reading an article written by a pilot that said that, on 9/11, when he heard about a plane flying into the WTC he (a) assumed it was a small plane (b) was not at all surprised because of course a small plane flying into the WTC was BOUND to happen sooner or later, what with the air traffic situation in that area.
