Tower in Milan: pay attention
 
Pay attention in Milan; a plane broke the higher Tower in Milan.<BR>Problems in the city.

Vincenzo, is the Tower a building? Or a tower on the Duomo?<BR><BR>Grazie!

It's the Pirelli building.

I heard on NPR that it was only th pilot on the plane, that he said over the radio he was having mechanical problems, and that this was very likely completely an accident. Until anyone confirms anything further, please don't try to scare travelers. Vincenzo, did you hear something more concrete? What "problems" are you referring to?

Confirmed in Belgian news: it was an accident, no terror attack.

Sad and tragic accident. End of story.... why the thread?

The reason for the thread should now be if there are any disruptions that would affect travellers.<BR><BR>I think I read that the building is right next to the train station.<BR><BR>Is train travel impacted?<BR>

I wrote the news after few minutes it happened. Now we know it wasn't terrorism.<BR>Only problem was interrupt of metro.<BR>Don't worry.
