Plane crashes into Manhattan high-rise

[turbo]

I just found a news feed on YahooNews that says a plane crashed into a 50-story building in Manhattan, but there were few details, and I don't have cable and the networks haven't broken into daytime television. Apparently it was a small craft, and it has not been determined if it was a 'copter or fixed-wing.

2 confirmed deaths. Seems to be an accident at this time.

There is a live video feed from ABC on yahoo news.

Wow! I can't even imagine the fear the people would've felt walking down that road.

Hopefully they will be able to contain the flames.

What a shame, and how very scary for the people of NYC. The fire-fighters did a fantastic job. Not only getting there quickly, but containing it so fast.
