NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say an aircraft has crashed into a building on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 72nd Street and York Avenue. It is near Rockefeller Center.
There was no word on casualties.
Video from the scene shows at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames.
It's unclear if it was a small plane or a helicopter.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- An aircraft has crashed into the middle of a brick highrise residential building on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 72nd Street and York Avenue, police officials said.
The building is located near Rockefeller Center and is very close to the Hudson River. A North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) spokesperson told CNN that it had not been tracking the plane.
There was no word on casualties as firefighters battled the flames that shot up from several windows on the 10th story. The Federal Aviation Administration has said a "general aviation" aircraft had hit the building.
Video from the scene shows at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames.

I doubt it very much. either pilot error or mechanical problems i say. i'd think if he wanted to commit suicide he would'nt do it that way.

Unfortunetly two people have died, but does this remind anyone of that simpsons episode, where crusty stages a fake plane crash and tries to start a new life?

plane just wont go down to the ground like a rock cuz it ran out of fuel, you can still fly it normally... plus it hit the building so fuel has nothing to do with it. or maybe im not getting it
