ANyone that thinks NORAD or nayone else can keep track of every small private aricraft and be prepared to "do something' whenever it veers towards a city or below 500 feet is in dreamland. It cannot be done. There are a number of airports near manhattan, and this accident ocurred on the upper East side, right along the river. I don't care which party is in power, this sort of reconnaisance simply cannot be done at any reasonable cost.

This sort of reconnaisance is being done right now- in DC. I don't think it is a huge stretch to expect the same in NYC, the financial capital of the world.
If it is truly this easy in NYC, we are in for some serious problems.
