Must be another kid on Acutane.
 
It was a small tourist plane that hit the govt building in Milan on the 25th floor. No word on casualties.

Edit: Pilot sent out an SOS before crashing.
 
It's a shame it wasn't the Eiffel Tower. Maybe then the French would wake up and come crying to us to help them with their terrorist problems.
 
Ok, im watching FoxNews Channel and heres what ive been hearing..

First of all it hit a building in Milan, some Pierreli Tire building, but its also used as local government office space. The building is about 30-35 stories high, the tallest building in Milan. The airplane was a small aircraft. At first they said the italian president declared this was an act of terrorism but now they think that report was false. There was another report that the pilot sent out an SOS right before it crashed so some people think it was just an accident. Nothing is sure right now, detials are still coming in. The plane hit the 25th floor, i saw some live video and it doesnt look to be too bad, but the angle is off and cant see the damaged portion of the building.
 
Damn! That looks like it'd be bigger than cessna/piper... More like a KingAir or small private jet (cessna citation or lear)...that thing really ripped that building up.
 
I have a friend who works for a major news network, news on the wire just said:

"reoprt saying probably accident and pilot reported tech probs"
