Small plane crashes into Manhattan building

...not to cause panic, but let's hope it's only a small plane.

72nd street on the upper east side
thats 9 blocks away from my old place

Six people are already confirmed dead. :(

First they said it was a hellicopter now they say a small aircraft.

Word is - It's not terror related

Sadly it missed the Trump Tower with Don inside.

Oooo. Ouch. Somebody doesn't like 'the Don'. :)

Yeah, I read about this. Appartantly the plane was registered to the pitcher for the Yankees, and he was on board, killed in the crash.

They haven't yet confirmed his death, but it doesn't sound good.

The headline reads: Yankee Cory Lidle on NYC plane; 2 killed

:(

Freddie's apartment was near this.

Poor guy :(

This is really sad :(

If I was living in New York my nerves would be worn out at this stage!

I just can't figure out why people who own small planes are stupid enough to fly them around in a big city, where there are lots of tall buildings around! I mean, what if something goes wrong with the controls? I'd rather be in a big, flat field with nothing to hit by the ground than to try and dodge big buildings.

Because the Yankees would do anything to steal a headline from the Mets.
