    Aircraft crashes into N.Y. building

    Anybody at home to see this in the news? I hope this is not another terrorist attack. At work today and really heard no other details.

      Apparently an accident but NORAD is putting fighters over major US cities as a precaution.

        It was a small plane owned and being flown by a Ney York Yankees pitcher.
        No names yet, but there were four on board and all were killed.

            I only need to turn my head to see that building from our office windows, but being south of the accident (59th Street) and the accident being on north side, we were not able to see the actual fires, just the smoke. Yeah, first though was 'terrorism', but in about 5 minutes, news was out it was a small aircraft hitting an apt. building, and we all went 'Nah, terrorists would use something larger, and hit something more significant. Gotta be an accident.'

              Small plane flown by Corey Lidle of the Yankees. As far as I know, 2 dead. I'm sure people have seen stories by now. Very sad indeed.
