Live video updates: 1 dead when helicopter crashes into New York City skyscraper: Officials June 10, 2019
1 dead when helicopter crashes into New York City skyscraper
One person died when a helicopter crashed onto the roof of a Midtown Manhattan building in a hard landing on Monday, according to police and fire officials.
The crash sparked a fire which has since been extinguished, the New York Police Department said.
"People who were in the building said they felt the building shake," New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo told reporters.
The crash is believed to be an accident; there's no indication of terrorism, a senior official with the Federal Aviation Administration told ABC News.
The building is located on 7th Avenue between 51st and 52nd streets, according to the New York City Fire Department.
The crash comes on a rainy New York afternoon; both Newark and LaGuardia Airports are in a ground stop due to visibility and thunderstorms, according to the FAA.
Additional details were not immediately available.

(Comment: The "center" location of the helicopter crash (51st and 52nd streets) in a strip of land, with water flowing on both sides - reminds me of the lay-out of France's Notre Dame Cathedral location and water flowing on both sides?)
