I just saw that on the news -- they're now saying "aircraft" because it might have been a small plane.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Bloody hell. I hope they are right it is a small aircraft. Last time I heard a small aircraft, those were the first reports from the Pentagon hit, people saying it was a small private plane...

Because books.
They keep saying they don't know which, but suspect it might have been a helicopter because of a heliport at 63rd St.
Such an awful deja vu feeling, watching all the smoke.

They say small private multi-engine plane, halfway down the building...
Visibility was 18,000 feet, pretty good

That didn't even occur to me, if you can believe it.
They're saying helicopter for sure now -- there were pictures of the debris on the street on FoxNews.

I swear, I wish they'd wait to report stuff until it's absolutely certain. I *just* heard someone say helicopter!

Reuters says:
Several helicopters have crashed over the years into or near the rivers flanking Manhattan.
How...comforting. A good friend of mine used to live at 72nd/York. I'm so glad she moved to Queens!

And NBC helpfully adds:
Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and burning and falling debris was seen.
No shit, a loud noise? And falling debris? That's some crack reporting, right there.
