UPDATE: Plane That Hit Condo Tower Registered to Yankees Pitcher Corey Lidle

NEW YORK - An aircraft crashed into a high-rise apartment building on Manhattan's Upper East Side in New York City on Wednesday, NBC News reported. There were conflicting reports about whether it was an airplane or a chopper.

There were no immediate reports on injuries.

Video from the scene showed at least three buildings in the high-rise engulfed in flames. A column of gray smoke rose over the city, and raging flames could be seen in four windows on two upper floors.

Looking for pictures/video now... will update as more details become available.

UPDATE:

The Federal Aviation Administration said it was a small aircraft that was involved, but there was very little other information collected so far. A helicopter would be expected in that area of the city; no other aircraft should be around that part of Manhattan, the FAA said.

UPDATE #2:

* Small plane smashes into high-rise building

* Witness: Plane was banking very, very steeply

* Flight restrictions imposed around crash site

* President informed; crash believed to be accident

* NORAD orders aircraft patrol cities as precautionary measure

Well, this is a bit concerning...

Let's hope it was an accident, not an attack.

Why are people even suggesting the possibility of an attack?

Oh yes, the terrorists are going to crash a Cessna into a building so they can kill the pilot and maybe a few other people. Sorry for sounding harsh, but this should be a matter of common sense.

It is a bad accident as someone (possibility more) was killed, but it was defiantly not an attack.

"The FBI has told the BBC that there is no indication that the crash is terrorism-related."

Well, it should be expected. New York was hit by terrorists in an airplane. Should everyone just assume, "Oh, it was just an accident, lolololol."

But I mean how many place crashes are there and then how many of those do crash into skyscrapers and then how many of them are in ny?

Highly doubt it's terrorism.

Depends on how you define terrorists. Do I think it is radical Muslims who hate America? No, this time I don't. But that doesn't mean it wasn't deliberate. And we can have terrorists from our own country?shoot; we have before and probably will again. Nevertheless, I think, and hope, that this was an accident and that as few people are injured or killed.

It's sad how people associate so many things with terrorism nowadays... Sept. 11 really changed this country.

Just because it's a plane crash doesn't automatically make it suspected as terrorism.

Geez.

How many planes have you ever heard of crashing into large buildings in a major city like New York? If it had crashed into McDonald's, it wouldn't be associated with terrorism.

Geez.

I don't think people think that with every plane crash, just the ones where a plane hits a building.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
