[0:16] in New York again. An American Airlines

[0:18] flight crashes in a New York

[0:19] neighborhood. There were 255 people on

[0:22] the plane and it's a terrible scene on

[0:24] the ground. Was it a mechanical failure

[0:27] or was it terrorism? No conclusion yet.

[0:31] Either way, air travelers think twice.

[0:34] We'll take a closer look. In

[0:36] Afghanistan, Taliban forces retreat and

[0:39] some of them surrender. Now, what

[0:41] happens about the capital Kabell? Events

[0:43] are moving

[0:57] when the news broke that another plane

[1:19] The plane which was headed for the

[1:20] Dominican Republic crashed into a

[1:22] neighborhood along a narrow strip of

[1:23] land on the edge of the Atlantic just

[1:26] south of Kennedy Airport. This is the

[1:28] Rockaway section in the New York City

[1:30] burough of Queens. 260 people were on

[1:34] board including the crew and there were

[1:37] no survivors. It was a devastating

[1:40] surprise for
