WCBS rumor - Two fatalities - only 1 fatality is in the plane Fire chief didn't say other fatality was in the building. (He did say that he saw the wreckage in the apartment and it's definitely a plane). Talk on the street that the other fatality might have been someone who jumped into the river from the plane.
Raining now.
The pilot?
Jumped out of the airplane? OK, that makes NO sense. "Gee, I'm in this plane doing 120 knots straight for a 41-story apartment building...I think I'll undo my seat belt, pop the door, climb out on the wing, fling myself off, and fall 300 feet into the river! Hey, it'd work for Macgyver!"
That's even weirder than the fact the plane hit the building in the first place.

If a fire chief saw wreckage IN the apartment, that is very good news, indicating the building fire is out and the risk of collapse would be past.
