Title: Re: Copter just hit a high rise in NYC Post by Lizzie2 on Oct 11th, 2006, 3:43pm OK Just got off the phone with my brother. I hadn't had the main news channels on when this story started, so Jimi's post was the first I learned of it. I called my mom at work and she said that she had heard, but neither she nor my dad had gotten through to my brother yet. I had called and left a message, and so my mom told me to keep trying. She didn't think he was near it, though. This is at 72nd and York as posted. My brother works at 47th and 3rd and lives at 48th between 2nd and 3rd. He said it's not really near to Rockefellar Center, though, for those who heard it was near there. Rockefellar Center is near 45th street. This incident has happened closer to the river in the Upper East Side... My aunts are also not in that area. My brother just said he doesn't know anybody who lives near there...someone at 89th and York, but far enough away. I'm so glad...we have so many family and close friends there. And friends who died in the WTC. This shit is scary, even if it isn't terrorist..... The news here just said that the people who live there are likely at work in the middle of the afternoon on a Wednesday. I hope that is the case and that nobody died in the condos. I'm just so glad my brother and aunts are okay........ Wow my heart rate went through the roof when I heard about this.... So relieved... Glad to hear Pep is okay, too. What about Langa? I know Ex2 is out on Long Island..b.ut does he work on Long Island, too? Who else is in NYC? -Carrie |

Title: Re: Copter just hit a high rise in NYC Post by Tiannia on Oct 11th, 2006, 3:53pm Small Aircraft Hits Manhattan Building Oct 11, 3:45 PM (ET) By COLEEN LONG (AP) This image from television shows fire and smoke after a small plane crashed into a high-rise on... Full Image NEW YORK (AP) - A small plane crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, raining down debris on the neighborhood and shooting giant flames out the windows, police said. Christine Monaco, a New York spokeswoman for FBI, said there was no indication of terrorism in the crash, but that officials "have been sent to the scene as a routine." FAA spokesman Jim Peters said all three New York City-area airports are operating normally. "The initial indication is that there is a terrible accident," said Department of Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke. The aircraft struck the 20th floor of a building on East 72nd Street, said Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and flames were seen shooting out of the windows. "It's a mob scene with police and helicopters circling," said Sandy Teller, watching from his apartment a block away. "There's a dozen ambulances and lots of firemen waiting on 72nd, on the corner. There's lots of stretchers ready, gurneys. And lots of emergency people waiting." The crash struck fear in a city devastated by the attacks of Sept. 11 five years ago. Witnesses said sirens echoed across the east side of Manhattan as emergency workers rushed to the scene. The crash triggered a loud bang. Broken glass and debris was strewn around the neighborhood. "There's a sense of helpnessness," Teller said. "Cots and gurneys, waiting. It's a mess." The Federal Aviation Administration said it was too early to determine what type of aircraft was involved, or what might have caused the crash in the middle of a hazy October afternoon. Witness Sarah Steiner, who lives one block away, told CNN that "The fire was raging out of two windows on approximately the 30th floor. ... They are evacuating the building." The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street - a 50-story condominium tower built in the late 1980s and located near Sotheby's Auction House. The Belaire Condo, developed by William Zeckendorf Jr., has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million. Several lower floors of the building are occupied by doctors and administrative offices, as well as guest facilities for family members of patients at the Hospital for Special Surgery, hospital spokeswoman Phyllis Fisher said. No patients were in the high-rise building and operations at the hospital a block away weren't affected, Fisher said. The Hospital for Special Surgery specializes in orthopedic operations. |

For those that are wondering about me, I don't work in NYC anymore. Peppermint does but on 57th. I think E2 goes to school in NYC but in lower Manhattan. I really don't know of others.

Title: Re: Copter just hit a high rise in NYC Post by Langa on Oct 11th, 2006, 6:06pm According to the news, 2 people on the plane died, Lidle and his instructor. Four civilians and 6 firefighters hurt. The tenants are allowed in the building now. So sad for those on the plane, but thankful no one else was hurt. Very bad weather in NY today - cloudy and rainy, and they think that might have been it. The plane hit the building nosefirst, leaving part of the engine in the building and the rest falling to the ground. Crazy! Langa |

Title: Re: Copter just hit a high rise in NYC Post by Peppermint on Oct 12th, 2006, 10:14am Thank you guys, Jimi :-* for your concern. I got a couple emails too. Glad the temp filled you in. I do work on 57th and 5th. I don't know if my temp told you, but I left work early and she took over for me. Just as I was going over that bridge is when I believe that crash happened. I didn't see it due to being drugged up from Benadryl. That stuff kicks my ass. The Benadryl was due to some killer shrimp I took a couple of bites of at lunch. Thank goodness I took it very quickly, I think its the closest I've ever felt to being offed. Very sad about this baseball pitcher. It did bring shades of 911. Pep |

Title: Re: Copter just hit a high rise in NYC Post by BMoneeTheMoneeMan on Oct 12th, 2006, 10:33pm I have been in that building many times. My old friend used to live there, lived on the 18th floor. It only cost $4,250 a month for a 2 bedroom apartment back then. :-/ |
