This has been the worst Summer EVER for plane crashes. Who feels safe to fly anymore? Scary. I'm keeping my feet firmly planted on the ground for now.

From what I heard reported today, there's NO flight plans
filed with the FAA for that area with small aircraft. They
operate by an informal system via radio communication.

A helicopter pilot refueling on the ground at the heliport for Liberty Tours, which operated the doomed sightseeing craft, saw the plane approaching the helicopter and tried to radio an alert to the pilots, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. The warning wasn't heard or didn't happen in time.
