This is where the residents at New York hospital live. My
friend is there and I have to make sure she's okay.

Aircraft Crashes Into Manhattan Building
Oct 11 3:11 PM US/Eastern
A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise on the Upper East
Side, setting off a fire and startling New Yorkers, police
said. There were conflicting reports on whether the aircraft
was a small plane or a helicopter.
Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi said an aircraft
struck struck the 20th floor of a building on East 72nd
Street. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise, and
burning and falling debris was seen. Flames were seen
shooting out of the windows. Video from the scene showed at
least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in
flames.
"There's huge pieces of debris falling," said one witness
who refused to give her full name. "There's so much falling
now, I've got to get away."
Whether anyone was injured was not known, and it was unclear
if the crash was an act of terrorism.
The address of the building is 524 E. 72nd Street _ a
50-story condominium tower built in 1986 and located nearby
Sotheby's Auction House. It has 183 apartments, many of
which sell for more than $1 million.
