A high-rise building about an avenue and street block away from my apartment just got Donnie Darko’ed by a helicopter/small aircraft. Naturally, accurate details are at a premium right now but so far, the incident has claimed one two lives and the fires have been put out.
If ordinary citizens were freaked out by this - just think of the firemen who had to go up in that building and put out the fire…
Go FDNY!
*UpdateI: Rest in peace, Cory Lidle.
*UpdateII: Excellent visualization of Lidle’s flight and crash into the UES high rise via NYTimes.
