Fox says it might have been a helicopter.  Heavy smoke and fire pouring from the building.

The building is located at the intersection of 72nd Street and York Avenue on the east side of Manhattan.  The websites for CNN and Fox News only have a "breaking news" banner but no story or pictures, nothing at all on Google News.

Picture attached at the bottom of this post.  The crash happened only minutes ago, but already the .gov has reported that "this isn't a terrorist attack."  Five minutes into the event and already the government know what it isn't.  Whatever.

Here's something pointed out by a user on another forum:

maybe the building will collapse due to the extended heat from the fire.

I hope noone was in that room at the time, and maybe, hopefully the pilot somehow bailed or lived.

LOL good point Briney.

We need to evacuated all high rises and not allow any aircraft to fly.  Who knows when a fire could start and suddenly collapse a steel structure!

NBC is saying the FAA has confirmed that it was a fixed-wing aircraft flying, not a helicopter.  They're also reporting that the aircraft was not in contact with air traffic control, so it hadn't reported any health/equipment problems.

The plane was flying using Visual Flight Rules (in other words, not using instruments) and was flying well below proper altitude for VFR flight.

MSNBC is reporting the plane made a hard ninety degree turn before striking the building.

Luggage has been found on the street as well.

It was just reported that:

1. Penetration of Aircraft into building was "not significant."
2. Firefighters described operation as a "routine" one.
3. Firefighters have substantially extinguished flames in building.
4. No significant injuries to any FDNY personnel.
5. Structure integrity of building is believed to be "excellent."
