A plane crashed Monday morning in the Queens section of New York, and buildings reportedly were on fire in the neighborhood.

The plane crashed shortly after 9 a.m. and thick, black smoke could be scene in televised reports.

The type of plane and number of people aboard were not immediately known. CNN reported that American Airlines confirmed the plane was an inbound American Airlines Boeing 767. The airline told The Associated Press it had no immediate comment.

WABC Radio is reporting that there was a small plane in the area and that the witnesses report that one engine was on fire or that the plane had actually lost an engine.

Remember the DC-10 in O'Hare about 20 years ago. It lost an engine and lost control because of the resulting wieght imbalance between the wings.
