I really hate to post this - but I thought some of you would want to know.


Aircraft Crashes Into Manhattan Building
By Associated Press

NEW YORK - A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police said. There were conflicting reports on whether the aircraft was a small plane or a helicopter.


Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi said an aircraft struck struck the 20th floor of a building on East 72nd Street. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and burning and falling debris was seen. Flames were seen shooting out of the windows. Video from the scene showed at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames.


"There's huge pieces of debris falling," said one witness who refused to give her full name. "There's so much falling now, I've got to get away."


Whether anyone was injured was not known, and it was unclear if the crash was an act of terrorism.


The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street _ a 50-story condominium tower built in 1986 and located nearby Sotheby's Auction House. It has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million.

It appears that it was Cory Lidle of the Yankees piloting.  Reports are conflicting as to whether or not a second person (possibly his flight instructor) was with him.

enough time has passed that we know now it was an accident and not terrorism, but it was definitely scary when we didn't know.

i was two blocks from the building when it happened. of course, my first thought was that it might be terrorism, but luckily the news reports cleared that up pretty quickly.
