More likely a heart attack than a terrorist attack - so the day's gold move has better odds of remaining / continuing?

Terrorism Downplayed in Milan Crash
By Associated Press
MILAN, Italy (AP) - A small plane with only the pilot on board crashed Thursday into a 30-story landmark skyscraper that houses the regional government offices. Two people were reported dead.


Smoke poured out of the building in downtown Milan but firefighters quickly put out the flames. Rescuers helped bloodied men in business suits.

The pilot of the Piper aircraft, en route from Switzerland, had sent out a distress call at 5:54 p.m. just before the crash near Milan's main train station, said police officer Celerissimo De Simone. RAI state TV reported that the pilot said the SOS was
because of engine trouble.

"We believe it isn't a terrorist attack," said police Sgt. Vincenzo Curto, who was reached at the Carabinieri headquarters in Milan. "The pilot might have taken ill or it was an engine problem."

Earlier, in Rome, the senate's president, Marcello Pera, said it "very probably" appeared to be a terrorist attack. But Pera's spokesman later said he had spoken with the interior minister and the crash didn't appear to be any kind of an attack.(cont)
