Hit a building at 72nd and York. No word on injuries.

Reports of plane/helicopter seem mixed; ABC said "small aircraft", Newsday says "small plane", and CNN is saying "It's unclear if it was a small plane or a helicopter."

Overheard on JFK TOWER - S Turns are fine, U-Turns are bad....
FAA is now saying it was a "small fixed-wing general aviation aircraft" flying under VFR rules.
Shoot first, ask questions later.

on BBC they said fire dept. said helicopter. they say its not terrorism, but might be fog related
It's a bit foggy but not thick enough that you wouldn't see a 500ft building.

FoxNews reporting 2 confirmed deaths.

NORAD now sending fighters to major US Cities...they still emphasize that this was most likely an accident, but this is just a precaution.

I'm across town on West 72nd and I was walking back to my office and suddenly saw what looked like every emergency vehicle on the UWS hit the lights and head east, now I know why.
Amazingly nobody in the media seems to know the aircraft's origin nevermind type or tail number. This is kind of disturbing in post 9/11 NYC. It even took them awhile to correctly identify the address of the building in question.
Without any specifics, I can't help but think of Dr. Bartha here if anyone knows what I am talking about.
