UPDATE: NYC Mayor, Bill de Blasio, said there was no indication that the crash was an act of terror, and he said there were no injuries to anyone in the building or on the ground. The Helicopter was an Agusta A109E and so far only the Pilot is believed to have been in the Helicopter. Investigations are ongoing.
Memories of 9/11 came rushing back to many New Yorkers as a Helicopter crashed onto the rooftop of a 51-Floor building on Monday afternoon (10th June 2019). Mayhem ensued as the building shook from the crash and people started running out of their offices.
The incident took place on the roof of a building at 787 7th Avenue in Manhattan. The Helicopter burst into flames soon after impact. Around 100 Fire and EMS units are currently on the scene. According to FDNY, the fire has so far been extinguished but they are dealing with leaking fuel from the Helicopter. CNN was told by FDNY Spokesman Myles Miller that the Helicopter Pilot is dead. Details on any more casualties or injuries are yet to be revealed. The building was being slowly evacuated due to the volume of people just trying to get out all at once. Security apparently told people to use the stairs instead of the elevators. One person said it took 30 minutes to get from the 29th floor down to ground level. See initial statements below from President Donald Trump as well as New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo.
Statement from Governor Cuomo:
