on my god

They think it might be a helicopter... what the hell is going on?!?!?!?
When I first heard that a plane hit a building in NYC I FREAKED bc Dan works there, but it hit Uptown... Theres supposedly 3 apartments up in flames. I hope noone was in them

I know so sad! They think its a helicopter maybe.

It's on 72nd & York. In the Belair building, right next to Sotheby's. I'm right across the park from it. There are about 4 helicopters hovering about my building right now.

the shop manager came up to watch the tv in the waiting room and said what happened!! ??????

NEW YORK - A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police said. There were conflicting reports on whether the aircraft was a small plane or a helicopter.


Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi said an aircraft struck struck the 20th floor of a building on East 72nd Street. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and burning and falling debris was seen. Flames were seen shooting out of the windows. Video from the scene showed at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames.

'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.
