You Really Shouldn’t Be Reading ATL Right Now

Instead, you should be reading about the small plane aircraft that just crashed into a residential high-rise building in New York City.

Actually, we take that back. You can read about the crash right here; we’re following the story on the cable news networks. Refresh your browser for our updates on this developing story.

Update #1: At least two confirmed dead. Initial reports suggest that this incident is NOT terrorism related.

Update #2: Drudge has changed his headline text from red back to black. According to DHS spokesman Russ Knock, “The initial indication is that there is a terrible accident.” Up in New York, home of our corporate Mother Ship, the NYPD is out in full force.

Update #3: CNN is now reporting that the pilot of the four-passenger aircraft, which took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, put in a “mayday” call before the crash. The pilot cited a fuel problem.

Update #4: A pitcher for the New York Yankees, Cory Lidle, may have been on board the aircraft in question. Lidle’s passport was found on the street after the crash.

Update #5: At least four people were killed in the crash.
