[0:04] You know what happened? Plane crashed.
[0:05] Where?
[0:06] Into the houses.
[0:08] Disaster strikes again in a nation on
[0:11] alert in a city on edge.
[0:14] A jetliner crashes on takeoff in New
[0:16] York. Investigators ask, was it an
[0:20] accident or an act of terror? They don't
[0:23] know.
[0:25] In the US-led war overseas, United Front
[0:28] forces take still more Taliban
[0:31] territory. They are now within a few
[0:33] miles of the Afghan capital.
[0:40] This is an expanded edition of the CBS
[0:43] Evening News with Dan Rather reporting

[0:49] Good evening. It has been another tough,
[0:52] sad, unsettling day for the nation and
[0:54] New York City. The wounds inflicted by
[0:57] murderous hijackers still fresh, New
[0:59] York was shaken today by another air
[1:01] disaster. The cause of this one still
[1:04] not clear. Whatever you may have heard
[1:06] speculated, the fact is investigators do
[1:09] not know what caused this calamity.
[1:12] Here's what we do know. An American
[1:14] Airlines jetliner crashed this morning
[1:16] in a residential neighborhood in the New
[1:17] York City borough of Queens, setting
[1:20] houses on fire. The European-made Airbus
[1:23] 300 had just taken off from John F.
[1:25] Kennedy International Airport carrying,
[1:27] this is an updated figure, 260 people to
[1:30] the Dominican Republic. Within seconds,
[1:33] something went terribly wrong. The plane
[1:35] broke apart and came down in the
[1:36] community of Belle Harbor on the
[1:38] Rockaway Peninsula just south of the
[1:41] airport. There were no survivors. We
[1:43] have extensive CBS News coverage tonight
[1:46] beginning with correspondent Richard
[1:47] Schlesinger at the scene of the crash.
