All the major news stations,and especially the local New york channels,are on this completely...It was a small plane or helicopter ,it appears that some people are still trapped due to heavy smoke inside.Hope for the safety of everyone ,including the firemen and all other emergency personnel.There is nothing to indicate terrorism,all the major news (CNN,FOX,MSNBC) are pointing that out AS WELL.

How come they don't know if it was a plane or a helicopter?
Small Plane Hits New York City Building
AP
NEW YORK (Oct. 11) - A small plane crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police said.
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 was no immediate word on any deaths or injuries.
It was not immediately known if it was a terrorist act.

I heard it is the Bellaire Condominum apartments.What THEY don't know:
The Name of the high Rise...
The number of casualties.
The cause of the crash.
They really like bringing up the terrorist thing.
The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street - a 50-story condominium tower built in the late 1980s and located near Sotheby's Auction House. The Belaire Condo, developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million.

My first thought was this could be a terrorist ruse to distract everyone, while they do something more sinister somewhere else...
But right now, I think this was just an unfortunate accident...

The plane was registered to Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle. It is still unkown at this time if he was piloting the plane.

Tell me that and the rest of New York the next time you watch 3000 people vaporize in front of you, not to mention watching two 110 storey buildings collapse.
Nobody's claiming it this was terrorist related, but you have to understand how this would rattle a few cages. A little compassion wouldn't hurt. After all, I paused for a moment of silence on 7/7 with many of my fellow countrymen in honor of your incident.

More details on the accident:
http://www.nbc10.com/news/10053834/detail.html
Sources tell NBC 10 that former Phillies pitcher Cory Lidle was in a small plane that flew into a New York high-rise on Wednesday.
Officials now say Lidle and another person were killed in the crash. An FAA official told the Associated Press that there may have been another person on the small plane with Lidle.
Lidle was traded by the Phillies to the New York Yankess this July.
NBC 10 has also learned that Lidle was not instrument rated to fly the plane and could only fly when visibility was good. It was an overcast day in Manhattan.
Lidle was presumed dead Wednesday along with a second person when their small plane veered into a high-rise condominium tower Wednesday on the Upper East Side, raining flaming debris on the sidewalks below, authorities said.
Although Mayor Michael Bloomberg declined to identify the victims, a law enforcement official in Washington, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Lidle was aboard the plane.
Bloomberg said a flight instructor and a student pilot with 75 hours of experience were aboard and killed.
The pair had circled the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor before heading uptown. Both bodies were found on the street below, and the plane's engine was found in one of the apartments turned into a four-alarm inferno by the crash, Bloomberg said.
And Federal Aviation Administration records showed the single-engine plane was registered to the pitcher, who was a new pilot and had repeatedly assured reporters in recent days that flying was safe.
It was unclear who was at the controls when the plane, headed north up the East River, went toward Manhattan and crashed into the condominium tower between its 30th and 31st stories, Bloomberg said. Initial reports from the city of four dead were inaccurate, the mayor said.
Lidle's passport was found on the street, according to a federal official speaking to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Eleven firefighters suffered minor injuries by the crash on an overcast October afternoon, which sent thick black smoke soaring above the city skyline and flames shooting out of apartments above the tony neighborhood.
Large crowds gathered at the crash scene, with many people in tears and others trying to reach loved ones by cell phone. Rain started pouring at the scene at around 4 p.m., and people gazed up at the smoke and fire as they covered their heads with plastic bags; earlier, parts of the plane fell to the ground.
"I just saw something come across the sky and crash into that building," said Young May Cha, 23, a medical student who was walking along 72nd Street. "There was fire, debris ... The explosion was very small."
Cha said it appeared the plane was "flying erractically" before it slammed into The Belaire Condo, where apartments sell for more than $1 million.
"I was worried the building would explode, so I got out of there fast," said Lori Claymont, who fled the adjoining building in sweat pants.
The small private aircraft, with four seats, took off from New Jersey's Teterboro Airport around 2:30 p.m. A federal aviation official, speaking on condition of anonymity because the investigation was continuing, said the plane was a Cirrus SR20 -- an aircraft equipped with a parachute designed to let it float to earth in case of a mishap.
Mystery writer Carol Higgins Clark, daughter of author Mary Higgins Clark, lives on the 38th floor of the building and was coming home in a cab when she saw the smoke.
"Thank goodness I wasn't at my apartment writing at the time," she said. She described the building's residents as a mix of actors, doctors, laywers and writers, and people with second homes.
"It's a mob scene with police and helicopters circling," said Sandy Teller, watching from his apartment a block away. "There's a dozen ambulances and lots of firefighters waiting on 72nd, on the corner. There's lots of stretchers ready, gurneys."
Fighter planes were scrambled over several cities across the country in the aftermath of the crash, despite the quick assurances that it was nothing more than an accident. "We see this as a prudent measure at this time," said Sgt. Claudette Hutchinson, a spokeswoman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command in Colorado Springs, Colo.
Richard Drutman, a professional photographer who lives on the building's 11th floor, said he was speaking on the telephone when he felt the building shake.
"There was a huge explosion. I looked out my window, and saw what appeared to be pieces of wings, on fire, falling from the sky," said Drutman, who quickly exited the building with his girlfriend.
The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street -- a 50-story condominium tower built in the late 1980s between York Avenue and FDR Drive. The Belaire Condo, developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., has 183 apartments.
Several lower floors of the building are occupied by doctors and administrative offices, as well as guest facilities for family members of patients at the Hospital for Special Surgery, which specializes in orthopedic operations
