A young Jordanian man named Feras M. Freitekh grappled with his flight instructor over the controls of a light plane just before it was to land at an airport in Hartford, Connecticut. The instructor was unable to wrest control away from the student soon enough, and the plane crashed and burned on a street in East Hartford near the Pratt & Whitney jet engine plant. The student was killed in the crash, and the instructor was badly burned, and is recovering in the hospital. No one else was injured. Authorities believe that Mr. Freitekh was deliberately attempting to crash the plane to commit suicide, and say the incident was not connected to terrorism. Americans across the country were greatly relieved to learn that the unfortunate incident had nothing to so with Islam.
