That happened super-fast. I've seen realtime recreations of it that last less than three minutes. Mostly people didn't know about it until it was over and there was a plane in the drink. My impression of this afternoon's event is that it lasted for quite a lot longer.
I'm just saying--it's easy to be all "Oh, you dumbasses need to not freak out". It's entirely another to be standing there and seeing a plane whizzing by.
For the record, I'm more than a thousand miles away from Manhattan, more's the pity.
