[net.aviation] New Jersey mid-air

roger@hpfcla.UUCP (11/12/85)

This past  weekend  there  was a  mid-air  crash of a Piper  single  engine
aircraft with a Falcon  tri-jet over  Cliffside  Park, New Jersey.  The two
aircraft fell on top of several  apartment  buildings causing fires and and
quite a few deaths of people on the ground.

I was  wondering  if  anybody  had any  details on the  accident.  Were the
aircraft based out of local  airports?  Did the accident occur under NY TCA
control?  Was the jet by any chance running test flights out of TEB?
