One killed after helicopter crash-lands on roof of building in Manhattan - NYFD

One person has died after a helicopter crash-landed onto the roof of a midtown Manhattan building and caught fire, New York Fire Department officials have confirmed.
The helicopter crashed into a 54-story office building on New York's 7th avenue, north of the Theater District and Times Square, just before 2pm.

Emergency responders continue to work at the scene "in response to fuel leaking from the helicopter," FDNY tweeted.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo showed up on the scene shortly after the accident. Asked by a reporter how he felt to hear an aircraft had crashed into a Manhattan building, he said every New Yorker had "a level of PTSD from 9/11,” but added that there was no indication that there was anything more to the incident and that the aircraft had just attempted an emergency or “hard” landing on the roof.
