    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?!

    aircraft is just something that flies, could be a helicopter or airplane or unmanned drone.

    NEW YORK (CNN) -- An aircraft has crashed into the middle of a brick highrise residential building on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 72nd Street and York Avenue, police officials said.

    The building is located near Rockefeller Center and is very close to the Hudson River. A North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spokesperson told CNN that it had not been tracking the plane.

    There was no word on casualties as firefighters battled the flames that shot up from several windows on the 10th story. The Federal Aviation Administration has said a "general aviation" aircraft had hit the building.

    Video from the scene shows at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames.

    not bringing up a conspiracy in any shape or form........

    just noticing that if this happened today, it is just simply a coincidence, then, that today is October 11th.
