Default Slamming just occured in NYC

News is it was a light aircraft. Look for NYC to ask for an ADIZ.


Doubtful. If this had been an intentional attack, the plane would have hit
the nearby UN building, not an apartment building. It was probably either an
accident (perhaps due to mechanical failure or pilot incapacitation) or a
suicide.

In any case, it appears to have been a small aircraft. Just two windows on
each of two adjacent floors of the apartment building show flames and
damage. No ground injuries have been reported; so far, it looks no more
serious than a typical fatal car crash.
