NEW YORK - A small plane crashed into a high-rise condominium Wednesday on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, touching off a raging fire that sent a pillar of black smoke over the city, police said. NBC's Pete Williams reported that 2 bodies were found, one in the wreckage and one on the ground.

There was no word on injuries. The blaze was extinguished in less than hour.

Williams reported that, according to New York investigators, the aircraft was flying at 800 feet when it made a radical turn and crashed.

There was no immediate word on whether residents were home at the time of the crash. Officials at the Federal Aviation Administration and the FBI said there was no reason to believe the incident was terrorism-related.

But a military official at NORAD said that as an extra measure of security, there were “numerous fighter jet patrols” over several U.S. cities.

Nevertheless, the crash at the Belaire, which overlooks the East River, struck fear in a city devastated by the attacks of Sept. 11 five years ago.

Sirens echoed across the neighborhood as emergency workers and ambulances rushed in with stretchers. Broken glass and debris were strewn around the neighborhood.

"There’s a sense of helplessness," said Sandy Teller, watching from his apartment a block away. "Cots and gurneys, waiting. It’s a mess."

The aircraft struck the 20th floor of the building on East 72nd Street, said Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi. Witnesses said the crash caused a loud noise. Flames were seen shooting out of the windows. Burning debris fell on the streets below as firefighters shot water streams of water at the flames from lower floors.

Video from the scene showed at least three floors in the high-rise engulfed in flames. A column of gray smoke rose over the city, and raging flames could be seen in four windows on two upper floors.

Unknown what type of aircraft involved
The FAA said it was too early to determine what type of aircraft was involved, or what might have caused the crash in the middle of a hazy, overcast October afternoon.

NBC's Jay Blackman reported it was a fixed-wing aircraft operating under visual flight rules, which means the aircraft did not have to be in contact with air traffic controllers.

The crash occurred near the heliport on the East River, according to MSNBC cable. The building it hit, the Belaire Apartments, has 50 floors and is located in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Upper Manhattan, according to the building’s Web site. Apartments occupy floors 22 through 50. According to NBC’s Robert Bazell, the Hospital for Special Surgery is on the lower floors.

The tower was built in the late 1980s and is near Sotheby’s Auction House. It has 183 apartments, many of which sell for more than $1 million.
