Bloomberg remembers victims

[NewsWhore]

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has led a memorial service for the victims of American Airlines Flight 587 that crashed shortly after takeoff in New York City six years ago. The flight was en route to the DR. All 260 passengers perished together with five people on the ground. The plane crashed in the Belle Harbor area on 12 November 2001. Bloomberg read a statement and explained that some NY city officials weren't able to attend the ceremonies because they were in the Caribbean analyzing the after-effects of Noel in the DR. Listin Diario reports that although the crash was a major tragedy, most Dominicans don't appear to remember the event. Several passengers questioned by reporters at Santo Domingo's Las Americas International Airport admitted to having forgotten about the crash.
