BEIJING - A flying object, likely a small airplane, crashed into Beijing's tallest building on Friday, Hong Kong media reported, with videos and images of the incident going viral on Chinese social media.
Pieces of glass and metal were scattered on roads around the CITIC tower building, while many police officers were mobilized in the area, witnesses said.
The CITIC tower, or China Zun, is a 528-meter-tall, 108-story building in Beijing's central business district, according to its website.
Videos on social media appeared to show debris falling from the skyscraper as well as people injured and a car whose windshield was broken following the incident.
