Being reported as a hard landing with one injury.
So far no fatalities.
Helicopter traffic has been banned from landing on rooftops in the city since the seventies.
This guy was probably flying over the river and got into some kind of trouble.
If it wasn't for that ban then a lot of people could have been saved from the WTC in 2011.
