    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.

    They just said it was Fixed wing under vfr. Sounds like he just crashed into the building somehow.

    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.
  • 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?

    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.

    The UN Building is roughly 30 blocks away?

    They were stressing this point, earlier.

    Seems like an accident to me.

    Hope everyone is okay.

    I wonder if this building will collapse because of the fire?

    Serious though, that is horrible, I hope no one is hurt...

    It won't collapse unless the pilot was Muslim.

    That is horrible, it's horrible as well that the media can't figure out what kind of aircraft it was.

    I've been told that the helicopter was trying to make an emergency landing--it was near a heliport.
