Echelon building austin:CNN is citing unnamed federal officials as stating that a private pilot in Austin set his house on fire this morning, stole a small plane from an airport in Georgetown, and flew the plane into the building. Joseph Andrew Stack is the homeowner/pilot being mentioned in press reports but the exact details of this event are still unconfirmed.
Initial Reports:
Via Statesman.com in Austin:
Austin police say a plane has crashed into a building in the 9400 block of Research Boulevard.
Austin-Travis County EMS Assistant Director James Shamard said smoke is visible for at least a mile and that paramedics have set up a triage center at the scene. “We have no idea right now if there are any patients, or how many.”
EMS officials said it was a seven-story building and that two people were unaccounted for. A witness said it was the Echelon I building.
An FBI official said it was believed the plane had come from Waco, and that witnesses said it had hit the building at full-throttle.
KXAN has live video as does CNN. While there has been no confirmation of a terrorism/criminal angle it can’t be ruled out:
Stuart Newberg was at a nearby Lexus dealership shortly before 10 a.m. when he said he saw a plane flying low and fast overhead.
“It was flying low and fast and I did a double take. I thought it was a play remote control plane. Then i saw the smoke,” Newberg said.
When asked if the plane seemed to be out of control, he said it seemed “very controlled.”
