Flight 587 was a French Airbus A300-600. When it broke apart, it showered debris and flames on an unsuspecting, working class neighborhood that had lost an unprecedented 60 people in the 9/11 tragedy, firemen and police officers. All 251 passengers, five infants and nine crew members, aboard the aircraft perished. New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said 262 bodies were recovered, including five people have been reported missing from the community.

Although the world believed this plane accident was no accident at all but a second wave of terrorist’s attacks, especially when the explosion rained fire down on this neighborhood of first responders. It was later determined that the plane crash was a tragic accident but not the reign of terror it was first thought to be. A sailor headed to the Dominican Republic to see his wife and children before he returned to duty in Norfolk, Virginia, where he was heading for duty in the Arabian Sea aboard the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise.

The crash site was familiar territory to many of the firefighters who responded to the call, including chief Stec. The area is residential - schools, apartment buildings, churches, doctors offices, a blogger who watched the story unfold on CNN on television monitors at nearby Kennedy Airport, would later write. “It is a beach front community comprised of hard working people. Most of the children who grow up there - marry and settle within the area. It is smaller soul group within a larger soul group who remain together joined by life and death. They love living on and near the water. Most humans are attracted to property on water as it is that which connects us to the flow of the collective unconscious - the creational grids - forever changing,” he said.
