Twenty-three patients were taken to the New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center yesterday after a small airplane crashed into a 50-storey building on East 72nd Street, New York.
The hospital treated 14 firefighters, 1 police officer and 9 civilians. Three of them arrived in the Emergency Department.
The hospital says 22 patients have been released. The remaining patient has been admitted to the William Randolph Hearst Burn Center. The patient is in ‘fair condition.’
Cory Lidle, a pitcher for the New York Yankees, a baseball team, was killed in the crash.
The FBI said they do not suspect terrorism.
