York and 72nd St!! There's a fire now in the building... it hit the 20th floor. I'm hearing it on CBS 880.

CBS 880 is said earlier it appeared that it was a small commuter plane. NOW they're saying that the Fire Dep't said it was a chopper that was weaving in and out of buildings. And they say officials have no reason to believe terrorism was involved.

On East River! Yikes!!

So scary... memories of 9/11... but they said it was a small plane.

UPDATE: The eyewitness on CBS said the plane looked like it was out of control, maybe engine failure, before it crashed.

And CBS said that two people have died from the crash so far. They're not sure if they were in the plane or in the apartment building.

They are saying it was a fixed wing plane.

The FBI and Homeland Security Department are saying it does not appear to be terrorism related, just a terrible accident.

Re: NWR: AIRCRAFT crashed into apartment building in NYC!!!

wow... so scary. CBS 880 said that, because of the times, NORAD is dispatching military planes - so don't be surprised if you hear or see military aircraft overheard. I got chills when I heard that. They reiterated that there is no obvious indication that this is terrorist related.

One second they're saying it was a helicopter, but air traffic control said it was a fixed winged aircraft.

We could see the smoke from our building! The people on the news seem very calm, but you can't help but get goosebumps! I hope everyone is ok and nobody was home in the apartment at the time of the crash!
