Plane Crash on the UES
A small plane has crashed into an apartment high rise on 72nd and York Ave. I was there about 15 minutes after it happened, before the cops closed off the street. Gossip on the street says a small 4 person Cessna crashed into it. There's no gaping hole, so the plane must have bounced off. The firefighters have the flames under control as of the moment I got kicked off the street.
I'm fine. I'm glad I'm not in traffic right now on 1st Ave. It's a disaster!
UPDATE: Here's a short video clip of the flames which should work soon.
Another Upper East Side blogger has photos too. Daily Blague.

Crazy that you're experiencing this in person while I'm watchin' this on CNN. Now I wonder how John Stewart will make a joke peripheral of this situation - but not that I want him to, that is.
