Victims of the deadly Flight 587 crash are being remembered at a New York City ceremony on the seventh anniversary of the tragedy.
The American Airlines flight crashed in a quiet Queens neighborhood on Nov. 12, 2001, after taking off from Kennedy International Airport bound for the Dominican Republic.
The crash killed all 260 people on board and five people on the ground.
The National Transportation Safety Board determined that the tail of the Airbus A300 had fallen off, and blamed pilot error, inadequate pilot training and overly sensitive rudder controls.
The disaster jarred a city still fearful after the terrorist attacks two months earlier. The loss was also felt heavily in the Dominican Republic.
