in another situation, that helicopter could have gone right down in the middle of times square. we have to make sure the federal government does its job and make sure there are the safe gaurguan place to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. >> were there any communications this pilot had after he took off and before the crash with anyone? >> so, wolf, any pilot, any helicopter pilot who wanted to ask the permission to go after manhattan, particularly anywhere near trump tower requires the permission of tower at laguardia airport. so far, very preliminary information, we have no indication that this pilot sought information. we have indication that he was in communication with laguardia tower. that adds another element of mystery to this situation. an experienced pilot would know that they are not supposed to go over those big buildings of manhattan without the approval of laguardia tower. and we're going to confirm that, but so far we have no confirmation that he was in contact with la grauaguardia. >> mayor de blasio, thank you so much for joining us. we'll stay

would readily be referred to as times square. for all the tourists in new york, 7th avenue is where you go. so this is a very, very big deal when you hear of an accident, you see the police and fire response in midtown manhattan. the governor said it, everybody in the city has ptsd about what happened with 9/11. so this is always first concern. was it deliberate or an accident? >> it seems from the reporting we're getting and the fact that it's bad weather outside and very low visibility and that somebody put a helicopter squarely down on the top of a tall manhattan building, this was a deliberate attempt to force-land a helicopter in a situation in which the helicopter had probably failed in some way. there was some kind of problem. we don't know anything about the helicopter. we do not have any reports of debris around the building. so it's entirely possible this was a full landing on top of the building. the governor used the term "hard landing." that's not an official term, so we don't know what that means. it means probably

you can see times square directly below, directly south of the crash site. central park is about eight blocks to the north of it. trump tower just to the northeast. we are reporting from the corner of 6th avenue and 50th. so we're only about a block away from the location. we know now the president is aware of this situation with his deputy press secretary telling us moments ago, quote, the president has been briefed on had helicopter crash in manhattan and continues to monitor the situation. just a few minutes ago we heard from new york's governor andrew cuomo. >> obviously it created a fire, so it was not a routine landing. >> what went through your mind? >> look, this is -- if you're a new yorker you have a level of ptsd, right, from 9/11. and i remember that morning all too well. so as soon as you hear an aircraft hit a building i think my mind goes where every new yorker's mind goes. >> that's an important point. my mind goes where every new yorker's mind goes. when you hear aircraft into building, that is the response. there's two things going on here.
