BREAKING: Plane Crashes Into Texas Office Building
« on: February 18, 2010, 10:32:12 AM »


Breaking on Fox News now.

More info to follow.

UPDATE:

A small single-engine plane crashed into a building in Northwest Austin Thursday morning, sparking a fire.
The crash happened near MoPac and Highway 183.

Smoke could be scene pouring from a building on traffic cameras.

KVUE’s Noelle Newton reports most of the windows are blown out. People are being evacuated. There is so far no word on how many people have been injured.

Traffic in the area is being diverted.

There's some video on CNN now.  The building is next door to the FBI office in Austin.

Traffic cam on the Fox website news feed shows State Highway 183...southern entrance to D/FW Airport.

ETA: PMSNBC is claiming it's in Austin...a commercial building.

Yup.  Northwest Austin, at Mopac and 183, per WFAA news.

Your title says planes.  Did you get reports of more than one plane, or is that a typo? :(

CNN feels the need to point out that it's right next door to the FBI office.  I haven't heard if there's any connection.

PMSNBC had one report that the IRS is in that building.  Haven't heard anything else to verify that.

Eyewittness report says it was a Piper Cherokee 140.


IMHO that building is a total loss...didn't think a small plane like that could do that kind of damage.

PMSNBC talking head just confirmed that the CIA...FBI and IRS have offices in that building.

ATF is on the scene with the rest of the law enforcement agencies.

Officials said there were reports an FBI field office was housed in the complex, but it was not hit.  They say this appears to be accidental.  A number of businesses are located in the building that was hit.

That plane had three Tesla car execs on board.  All three were killed.

A witness who described himself as a small-aircraft pilot told KXAN-TV that he witnessed the accident from the parking lot of a nearby restaurant.

“It was really low,” he said. “He brushed along a parking lot light … (and) shot right across the road. It was going really fast. … It sounded like the engine was on full blast. Then it whacked in-between the first and second floor.”

That does sound like someone who lost control of an aircraft to me.  I'm not a pilot, but if you know you were about to slam into a building, would you go full throttle on your engine?
