TAMPA, Florida (CNN) -- A stolen, single-engine plane being pursued by a Coast Guard helicopter on Saturday slammed halfway up the 41-story Bank of America building in downtown Tampa, authorities said.

"There is no apparent link to terrorism," said FBI spokeswoman Angela Bell.

There were no immediate reports on casualties or injuries as a result of the crash.

Charles J. Bishop, a 15-year-old British national and flight student, jumped into the Cessna 172 at Albert Whitted Municipal Airport in nearby St. Petersburg and took off alone at about 5 p.m., police said.

"We believe he departed without anyone's knowledge, or their giving him the OK to leave," said Pinellas County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Greg Tita.

As the plane took off, air-traffic control alerted the U.S. Coast Guard, which dispatched a helicopter to intercept the Cessna, said Lt. Charlotte Pittman of the Coast Guard. The helicopter's crew, yards away from the Cessna, signaled for it to land at an airport just south of Tampa. Instead, the airplane struck the building without appearing to try to avoid it, witnesses said.

Commercial airports in both Tampa and St. Petersburg temporarily suspended operations following the incident.

The plane's wings tore from the fuselage when it struck the skyscraper near its 23rd and 24th floors, according to Christopher White, a Federal Aviation Administration spokesman.

The plane's tail was hanging from the side of building, located at 101 E. Kennedy Blvd., and windows on at least two stories had shattered, according to reports. Despite fuel leaks, no fire erupted and the structure remained in tact and safe, city fire and police officials said.

Bishop was "pre-flight authorized," meaning he was authorized to do a pre-flight check but not to get into the plane alone, said a government transportation official.

Bishop, a student at East Lake High School in Palm Harbor, Florida, had taken flying classes for two years, Tita said.

The teen was at the airport with his mother and grandmother performing a pre-flight check when he got into the plane and took off, Tita said.

The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the incident and FAA officials are on the scene, White said.

The scary thing is it isn't just in Tampa. Three other planes crashed in the U.S. today. One in California, and others in Colorado and Puerto Rico.

The only thing that worries me is that that Tampa crash was against the Bank of America after American Airlines has been used to try and commit other acts of terrorism recently.

A plane went down on New Year's eve and another two days ago, all small, which probably means it's not terrorist, but I am sure the terrorists are delighted by this news since they claimed that the rain of planes would not end.

Fuck 'em.

More Airline news comming from Florida...This one's a Pisser ::Hudala,Hudala,Hudala,::

Urinating Passenger Charged with Threatening Plane

MIAMI (Reuters) - An airline passenger who allegedly urinated on a row of seats and threatened to bring down his Argentina-bound flight in a fireball was indicted in Miami on charges of interfering with a flight crew and making threats on a commercial aircraft, prosecutors say.

The United Airlines flight from New York to Buenos Aires was diverted to Miami International Airport on Christmas Day because of the man's behavior, said U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis.

The suspect, Rodrigo Deambrosio, faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted on the charges, Lewis said Friday.

He said Deambrosio, a waiter from New York, became unruly two hours after the flight left New York's Kennedy airport, cursing at the crew and refusing to return to his seat.

Told the plane would land unless he behaved, Deambrosio urinated in the row of seats where he had been sitting, Lewis said in a news release.

Flight attendants stood guard over him as the plane turned toward Miami. Deambrosio allegedly told them he could not wait to be thrown off the plane because he had placed something aboard that would prevent it from ever reaching Buenos Aires, Lewis said.

"Deambrosio stated that he had ways of putting things on planes because he is a waiter in New York and he knows how the catering service works for the airlines," the prosecutor said.

"Deambrosio then stated that everyone on the plane was going to die in a fireball. ... After landing at Miami International Airport, Deambrosio stated again that the passengers and flight crew would die."

He was arrested after the plane landed safely in Miami and told the crew that he had consumed alcohol, prescription sleeping tablets and cocaine before boarding, Lewis said.

Maybe the bank was going to repossess the plane, so he was returning it before they could collect....

So, you can get a license to fly a plane at 15, but can't get one to drive a car until 17 or 18.
Umm, am I the only one that sees a problem with this logic?

Write To Me Here

I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories that about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?
