URGENT: A small plane has crashed into the Echelon I Building on Mopac and U.S. 183 in northwest Austin, TX., around 10 a.m. Thursday. According KXAN, the collision shook the entire commercial building and the entire front of the structure is gone and on fire. Joseph Andrew Stack, a software engineer, is being named as a possible pilot of the plane. His wife, Sharon Stack and daughter were rescued from their burning house by a neighbor. Stack reportedly lives in Austin and is able to fly a small plane. The plane reportedly took off from Georgetown Municipal Airport at 9:40 a.m. Investigators are looking into whether there is a connection between Stack and the plane crash.

There are four separate fires burning in the seven-story building, located in the 9400 block of Research Boulevard. The entire building from the second to fourth floor is on fire. The Internal Revenue Service, the CIA and the FBI all have offices in that office park, though the FBI building was not hit. Two people from the building are reportedly and they are trying to determine where they are. According to the Statesman, a FBI agent said the plane was out of Waco and that the Federal Aviation Administration officials were en route to the scene.

The fire department is reportedly in a defensive position and have retreated from the building due to instability in the building.The plane is being reported as a Cirrus SR 22, which has not been substantiated. It is used throughout the country by aviation enthusiasts.

There is a large presence of law enforcement personnel on the scene. It will be interesting to see if this was a deliberate act to do harm to the people in the building or it was an accident. It seems that the fire is very widespread for such a small plane, unless it had just taken off from the airport and was loaded with fuel. It also depends what it had on board. MSNBC is reporting that the pilot may have set his house on fire before getting into the plane. That changes the situation tremendously.
