Poor NYC - here you go again!!!

A helicopter crashed in high rise apartment building...thankfully there is no reason for terrorist attack...more of a sloppy flying incident....Praying for those people in the building!! And any of our people here that are in that area.

Changed... I see they dont know what crashed!

Hopefully many were at work and not in the building, but still... SAD!!!

This is the last line on Fox News... "The building is a 50-story condominium tower built in 1986 and located nearby Sotheby's Auction House. It has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million." Was the Ellen Barkin auction today?

I posted this about 5 minutes ago in the around the world forum. Its sad. I just hope it was a mistake and that we are not getting a signal from outside sources to attack again...its in an expensive neighborhood too.

Thank you njc...was just coming back to correct that - just heard they had corrected that.

Gotta keep info straight

So scary and so sad. But looks like it''s a terrible accident.

 

[KimberlyH]

Just wanted to say I''m thinking of all you NYC PSers. My stomach dropped when hubby turned on the TV. Let''s hope that this is a terrible accident and nothing more.

It''s not a helicopter, it''s a small plane. So scary! I hope it was an accident and no one was seriously hurt.

 

[Scintillating]

Ugh. Deja Vu.

524 East 72nd St.
The Bellaire Building

From what I've heard people in the upper floors are still trapped in the building - I hope they get out okay.

Apparently the Gov. has deployed fighter jets over the US in a number of cities.

Scintillating...

 

[KimberlyH]

I live near an air force base in San Diego, the fighters just flew over our house. 2 people are confirmed dead.

 

[~*Alexis*~]

Does anyone here live near there? i know we have people in NYC but I just dont know where..

NYC people.. CHECK IN!

My office is about 20 blocks away and it's pretty calm around here although I heard sirens in the distance right after it happened. I really want to believe that it was just a freak accident but we're so conditioned to think that anything like this is an act of terrorism. They have confirmed 2 dead already. So sad and scary. Our city has been through so much already, I surely hope we don't have to endure more.

 

[Kaleigh]

They just reported that the plane was registered and owned by Corey Lidle a former Philadelphia Phillies Pitcher who now is with the NY Yankees. Reports are saying a member of The NY Yankees organization was on the plane. That''s all I have right now.

 

[UCLABelle]

My news just said FBI confirmed it was the Yankee Pitcher Lidle that was flying the plane...HOW SAD!!!!!!

 

[Kerbear560]

MSNBC is reporting that NY Yankee pitcher Corey Lidle was on board the plane, and was killed...what a horrible and tragic accident...

Here is a picture of the pitcher........He is the one flying on the right

 

[codex57]

This hurts Yankee people especially. Seeing anyone killed is tragic, but it''s not the first time they lost a teammate to a plane crash.

 

[Morticia]

I''m a huge Yankees fan and so sad about this.

It''s very sad and a tragedy no matter who it was, Yankees pitcher or not.

It just feels so weird to think that he''s gone.
