The pilot of a helicopter was killed on Monday after his chopper crashed onto the roof of a high-rise in Midtown Manhattan and burst into flames.

The Agusta A109E helicopter crash landed just shortly before 2 pm on the roof of the 54th story of a building at 787 Seventh Avenue, between 51st and 52nd streets, just north of Times Square. No one inside the building or nearby was injured. The pilot was the only person in the helicopter.

The building doesn't have a helipad, and the crash took place on a rainy and foggy day, with low visibility.
