The AP has a small story up on it now:
NEW YORK (AP) – A small plane crashed into a high-rise on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, police said Wednesday. There was no immediate word on any deaths or injuries.
A column of gray smoke rose over the city, and raging flames could be seen in four windows on two upper floors.
I’m not in front of a TV so I don’t know the latest news, but Allah’s on top of it. The commenters in that thread are saying that they heard it was actually a helicopter, not a small plane.
Update I: Stop The ACLU has updates, photos, and video coverage.
Update II: Two are confirmed dead: the plane’s pilot and passenger. One of them was Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle.
Thur AM Update I: Check out Keith Olbermann’s commentary on Lidle. What a jerk.
Thur AM Update II: Speaking of jerks …

- I’m watching it on FOX, and as usual the early reports are all over the place. Supposidly the FBI has already made a statement saying it is not a “terrorist act”. Some disagreement as to the type of aircraft. Now listed a a 4 alarm fire, with some people trapped in the building. Fire-fighters are now amassing on the scene.
Has anyone blamed Bush yet?!?!?!?
- Patience NC. It’s still early.

- Ok. charley Rangle (D-NY) is on TV now holding forth about how poorly, in so may words this reflects on the so-called “improvements” in homeland defense.
- Another Democrat abusing a tragic event to oppotunistically do Left-wing talking points. Cavuto finally backed him up a little by closing the interview with “Charley, only you could work those comments into this situation”.
- Bang
The plane was owned, and piloted, by Cory Lidle, pitcher for the New York Yankees, according to WABC radio.

I am just waiting for the steel to give and the to building to magically collapse into a dust pan. didn’t it take 45 minutes, maybe this’ll be a good experiment in demolitions.

- Yes, reliable reports say that he and his passenger were killed in the crash.
- One sidelight is that an officer from Norad was interviewed and confirmed the fact that jet over-flights were scrambled over uo to 30 american and canadian cities withing 10 minutes of the crash.
- Bang

Not unless reality is buffered by the human shield of the 30+% of Americans that actually believe in that buffoon, even without the 9/11 theorizing, Bush’s is thoroughly blood and shit stained…

Watch your language, TW. –ST
Speaking of reality challenged stains……Quantum physics class…….DIIIIIIIIISMISSED!
Very nice, Travis.
I see the elementary schools are out…..
You know, I am beginning to think more and more about the whole moonbat explosion theory. I think there could of been explosions during in this attack. Since no one whatsoever would inspect checked luggage, what would stop the terrorists from putting small explosive devices in them??? I just think it is completely asinine to believe that George Bush set up explosives and am not at all let down by the travelers on the left who are so quick to blame GW and turn a blind eye at the possiblity of explosions caused by the terrorists. – Lorica
The plane had a plane parachute. Pretty good safety feature I SAY.
This seems like sudden mechanical failure; with that plane parachute, they could have landed in the east river, and get plucked out by the NYPD, or the Coast Guard. The investigation could take a year, and even then we might not know the cause.
Well… they would’ve been too low for the parachute to be effective… (too open up it needs distance and speed I suppose).
I’ve never seen a parachute like that on a small plane, that’s pretty smart. It’s such a shame what happened, as a Yankee fan it was so sad to read about it.
I would say what Olberman said was unbelievable, but at this point I would expect nothing less of him.
Those parachutes are very cool. I first saw such things on ultralights, and they have saved a fair number of lives. Recently I noticed they were available for certain smaller private planes. Very cool.
Imagine the size chute you’d need for a 747!
