Before joining the East Clinton VFD, he was a member of the LaGrange Fire Department. With 15 years of experience flying helicopters and single-engine airplanes, he was certified as a flight instructor last year, according to Federal Aviation Administration records.

That model helicopter, which is used for executive travel, was flying in a restricted flight area when it crashed. Mayor Bill de Blasio said officials were investigating whether or not the chopper had received approval from flight controllers to go into the restricted zone.

The building was evacuated.
樓內人員已撤離。
“There was a shake and then a noise and then we just evacuated,” one man said. “That was about it. We just heard the ground shake, like it was an earthquake and then we went back to business. Then we got the notice to evacuate.”
一個人說:“先有晃動,之後聽到噪音,然後我們就撤離了,情況就是這樣。我們只聽到地面晃動,像地震一樣,然後我們又繼續工作,再後來就接到通知要撤離。”
“You could smell smoke. Not heavy smoke, but the smell of what I describe — burnt construction material started to come downstairs,” another man said.
另一個人說:“你能聞到煙味,味道不是很濃,但我覺得像是建築材料燃燒的味道傳到了樓下。”
“We had a very strange, very troubling incident this afternoon here in Manhattan,” Mayor de Blasio said.
市長de Blasio說:“今天下午在曼哈頓發生了一起非常奇怪、非常麻煩的事件。”
De Blasio emphasized that “there is no indication at this time that this was an act of terror and there is no ongoing threat to New York City based on all the information that we have right now.”
de Blasio強調說:“目前沒有跡象表明這是一次恐怖襲擊,就目前我們所掌握的消息來看紐約市並未受到持續威脅。”
