CBS just confirmed it was a helicopter.
I guess they just don't know.
It's now fixed wing. Interviewing someone saying they saw a plane wing dip.
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.

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?
If the witnesses saw the plane's wing dip, it sounds like it came in from above the building (??)
The pilot dipped the wing, then flew into the building.
(I'm just speculating at this time.)
