Update from FNC:
NEW YORK A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, raining down debris on Manhattan and unleashing what witnesses reported was a gigantic fireball, police said.
The aircraft struck the 20th floor of a building on East 72nd Street, said Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and burning and falling debris was seen. Flames were seen shooting out of the windows.
"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.

Frogjerk's information is correct . . . I may have confused by getting the time period wrong (I thought it was 10-15 years ago).
Jane Dornacker was the traffic reporter who died in that crash.

Yes this crash is CLEARLY ALL Hastert and Bush's fault! They HAVE to go. Unless it is Rove's doing, then ROVE has to go. You can bet there are liberals saying that to themselves right now. Pathetic considering people have surely died in this tragedy whether an attack or accident, liberals will blame conservatives. I wonder if this will bring 9-11 back to the front of many NY'ers minds in time for the election? Is that even possible?

CBS just confirmed it was a helicopter.
I guess they just don't know.

Yeah, it could have been a B-25. But I clearly remember it was really foggy.

Well what's the definition of "dipped"? Did it dip it's wing to extend the vertical damage section, or did it dip it's wing to avoid the building?

What is a fixed-wing airplane?
The rotor of a helicopter, is, in essence, a wing that moves.
