Chinese authorities sealed off roads and deployed a heavy police presence around Beijing's 108-storey CITIC Tower after a small aircraft crashed into the city's tallest skyscraper. Eyewitnesses reported hearing a loud impact before spotting damage to two glass panels high on the building. Police restricted access, discouraged filming, and reportedly asked some bystanders to delete recorded footage. Authorities had not issued an official statement on the cause of the crash or possible casualties at the time of reporting. The incident has drawn widespread attention due to the building's prominence and the unusual nature of the crash in Beijing's tightly controlled airspace.
