Gerrod and I are fine. A small aircraft has reportedly crashed into an apartment building on 72nd and York Avenue (East River, about 30 blocks north of the UN). No word on casualties etc.

Update: Latest update is that the plane was being piloted by a Yankee’s pitcher, who was in flight training doing laps up and down the East River. Both he and his co-pilot (instructor) were killed in the crash. Two other serious injuries have been reported.
