    NEW YORK - An aircraft crashed into a high-rise apartment building on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City on Thursday, NBC News reported. There were conflicting reports about whether it was an airplane or a chopper.

    There were no immediate reports on injuries.

    Video from the scene showed at least three buildings in the high-rise engulfed in flames. A column of gray smoke rose over the city, and raging flames could be seen in four windows on two upper floors.

    According to local affiliate WNBC, officials said the aircraft was a helicopter, not a plane. That had not been confirmed by any other sources.

    The crash occurred near the heliport on the East River, according to MSNBC cable.

    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.

    I just said that because we all know someone would come on here to turn it about a 9/11 conspiracy, I was just getting out of the way early.

    Is there anywhere streaming video of this on the net?

    Oh I know. I'm just sayin. I can read it now.. c4 was planted on the 24th floor 36 hours prior and it didn't look like a commerical aircraft. It looked almost like a military craft if you look close enough.
  • God it's terrible scene to see! maybe just a man's fault, or act of terrorism?! Hope not this 2nd one!

    Can someone explain me what is the difference between aircraft and airplane?!
