To all those people calling and checking on me, I'm totally fine. Thank you for your concern.
Not that anyone had any reason for actual concern - I was not on the plane, near the plane, or even aware of the plane. People just called me - concerned - because I happen to be in New York.
For those who don't know, here's everything I know:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A small aircraft crashed into a building on Manhattan's Upper East Side on Wednesday, but a U.S. official said there was no evidence it was terrorism-related.
The Federal Aviation Administration said it was not clear whether the craft was a helicopter or a small plane, but the New York Fire Department identified it as a helicopter.The crash occurred at East 72nd St. and York Avenue, near the East River.
"I have no reason to believe at this point that the crash in New York City is terrorism-related," said a U.S. official who declined to be identified.
CNN, citing a police source, said the craft hit a 20-story residential building.
Several helicopters have crashed over the years into or near the rivers flanking Manhattan.
