About a half hour ago a plane crashed into a middle floor of an apartment building on E.72nd street here in New York. As I type officials have not yet discovered or disclosed what kind of plane, other than it was a small aircraft. Fire has engulfed approximately four to six apartments from what I see, and a fuel spill burns on the ground.
Just in: fixed wing airplane. Okay.
All the major newsy outlets have made their 9/11 mentions and comparisons, they claim to assure the public there is no reason to believe this incident is terror related. Because, you see, we are understandably a little jumpy when it comes to planes hitting buildings.
However, hysterical scare-tactic news outlets, you can stop with the shrill, oh my fucking god! 9/11 shit now, okay? Please quit while you’re ahead, quit the guesses, the postulation-as-news, just quit it. A plane hit a building, burning debris crashed to the ground, the building is on fire and people are injured and it’s all very frightening.
That, in itself, is enough. So enough already.
