Air Traffic Controllers agree:


"The first outside word that controllers received was that a small twin-engine plane had hit one tower of the World Trade Center. They thought it was a twin-engine Cessna that had taken off earlier from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., to fly south under "visual flight rules," meaning the plane was not under direct air traffic control. "

These controllers, by the way, are the same who got their experiences that morning taped only to watch months later how a hyperactive FAA manager named Kevin Delaney ripped the tape apart and distributed the parts over several bins.

Wondering what happened to this Cessna from Poughkeepsie...
