Crowds in the capital’s central business district fled as the crash sent debris falling into the streets below.

A small aircraft flew into the tallest building in Beijing on Friday, sending huge hunks of debris and plane parts plummeting onto the streets below and prompting crowds to flee.

Video shared on social media and verified by The New York Times showed debris falling from the skyscraper, as people ran to safety. The footage showed broken windows and debris, including what appeared to be the tail of a small aircraft, falling dozens of stories into the street below.

Bad flying? Suicide by airplane? Disgruntled worker?

Thankfully it doesn't look like too much damage and other than the occupants of the plane I hope no one inside the building was killed or hurt.

The video gave me a brief flashback to 9/11. Obviously not the same but that's where my memory went.
