Default *** PLANE HITS BUILDING IN NEW YORK ***

http://news.sky.com/skynews/article/...236978,00.html

Just watching it on fox, looks like a small plane or helicopter has hit a building in Manhattan.

They're saying they don't think it's terrorist related, but there has been a scramble of fighter jets over a few large US cities:

Bad pilot or genuine accident I think.
I don't think a random appartment complex is exactly a high valued target, so I tend to agree with you.
