Looks like the 2nd plane missed the Tower
U.S. Nuclear Power Sub Collides With Cargo Ship in Gulf last Monday

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - A nuclear-powered U.S. Navy submarine collided with a Turkish cargo ship in the Persian Gulf early Monday, the U.S. Navy reported. Nobody was injured and both ships appeared to suffer only superficial damage, said the spokesman for the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet, Cmdr. Jeffrey Breslau.

It was the U.S. Navy's second collision with a civilian vessel in the Gulf in 14 months.

The USS Philadelphia was traveling on the surface of the Gulf when it hit the Turkish-flagged M/V Yaso Aysen at around 2 a.m. local time, said a statement from the 5th Fleet Headquarters in Bahrain.

The collision happened about 30 miles northeast of Bahrain, said Breslau.

Imagine the magnitude of the disaster if this accident had been worse then they are saying it was? Funny, this news is coming out of UAE and not the USA.
