NEW YORK - A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police said. There were conflicting reports on whether the aircraft was a small plane or a helicopter.You.. have.. got.. to.. be fucking kidding me..
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's huge pieces of debris falling," said one witness who refused to give her full name. "There's so much falling now, I've got to get away."
And so ends Foley-Gate... jesus christ if this is an election rigging stunt..

The pilot was Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle. Apparently there was a problem with the plane within minutes of takeoff.

I was home for lunch watching the news and saw this come on.
Apparently there is sufficient evidence to rule out any type of terrorist attack. From what I could tell it appeared to have been a routine helicopter that normally flies through the city that probably got out of control and crashed.
Time will tell though, I'm sure it's nothing. Whether or not that means the public wont dwell on it and that the republicans wont try to spin it, who knows.

Hmm, new reports on the radio is that it was a small plane and that one of the 2 peeps confirmed dead at this point is Cory Lidle a Pitcher for the Yankees. Apparently he was the pilot of the plane.
