A plane or helicopter hit a building in NYC

Plane

NY1 is down from the traffic. CNN just says " small plane has crashed into a building in New York City. No further details immediately available".

UPDATES FROM GOTHAMIST
"Victims are apparently trapped in the building; reports say there is at least one DOA. Heavy debris is falling as well. And the building at 524 East 72nd Street is the Belaire Building. Nearby: The Hospital for Special Surgery (it's unclear whether the hospital was hit)." [Gothamist]

Hey, you fucking morons. People just died. Others are trapped in the building and could die. Cut our the snide bullshit and act like fucking human beings. Assholes.

Reports are coming in that they have not ruled out A-Rod as a cause for the crash.

"Reports are coming in that they have not ruled out A-Rod as a cause for the crash."

Well apparently the plane was registered to Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle so maybe your joke seems a bit too appropriate.

"'Reports are coming in that they have not ruled out A-Rod as a cause for the crash.'"

That's very strange. I do feel bad, by the way. Rough way for him to go, he was having a bad week. Listen to his interview on Mike & The Mad Dog from Monday. They were brutal with him.

Even worse for the people who just happened to be in their living rooms when a fricking plane comes in and kills them. Sad and strange.

hay guyz he's rite they wud never do this at collegehumor.com

Posted by Erik | October 11, 2006 5:11 PM

btw, so is this a helicopter or a plane? I've heard the most that it's a plane, but I'm still hearing people that are sure it was a helicopter. And is there a source for this stuff about it being a Yankees guy's plane?
