(BEIJING) -- A small aircraft crashed into Beijing's tallest skyscraper before falling down in front of the building, according to eyewitnesses who spoke with Reuters and the Associated Press.

Videos taken by people near the Citic Tower appeared to show the plane striking a high floor before it spun downward and crashed to the ground in front of the tower's entrance.

Photos showed what appeared to be a hole or broken glass on one side of the building.

Authorities have yet to address the incident. Videos, images and search results of the crash are actively being scrubbed from the Chinese internet.
