Man Crashes Plane Into Northwest Austin TX Office Building


NOTE: POST DELAYED DUE TO UNRELIABLE TAME-WARNER ROADRUNNER SERVICE HERE.

Thursday morning a man reportedly involved in a domestic dispute set his home on fire- went to an airport in suburban Georgetown and stole a small plane- then crashed the stolen plane into an office building in northwestern Austin off of U.S. 183.


A huge fire engulfed at least one side of that office building that has since been knocked down by Austin firefighters.

The building struck reportedly contains IRS offices- a Federal agency the suspect- reported by the AP as "Jospeh Stack"- was having issues with.


At least 2 people have been taken to hospitals- but as of yet no word on fatalities- according to Austin TV station KVUE.

Here's a link to KXAN's live coverage of this incident..
