It happened at around 1:43 p.m., according to FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro.

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.

一个人说：“先有晃动，之后听到噪音，然后我们就撤离了，情况就是这样。我们只听到地面晃动，像地震一样，然后我们又继续工作，再后来就接到通知要撤离。”
“You could smell smoke. Not heavy smoke, but the smell of what I describe — burnt construction material started to come downstairs,” another man said.
另一个人说：“你能闻到烟味，味道不是很浓，但我觉得像是建筑材料燃烧的味道传到了楼下。”
“We had a very strange, very troubling incident this afternoon here in Manhattan,” Mayor de Blasio said.
市长de Blasio说：“今天下午在曼哈顿发生了一起非常奇怪、非常麻烦的事件。”
