The BBC<\/a> reports that videos of what happened have been faraway from China\u2019s web, while unrelated pictures of the skyscraper have also been taken off Chinese social media platforms.<\/p>\n

Aviation firms have also suspended light aircraft operations, the outlet said, with a source telling them: \u2018We were told not to talk about it\u2019.<\/p>\n

Other national media outlets, including Xinhua news agency and China Central Television, haven’t reported on the incident, in accordance with Reuters.<\/p>\n

The plane involved within the crash had deviated from its intended flight path after taking off from Shifosi Airport half an hour earlier, in accordance with Global.hk<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It was on account of turn around and return to the airport for five.45pm, but flight monitoring lost the tracking signal around Beijing\u2019s East Fifth Ring Road.<\/p>\n

After this, the aircraft couldn’t be reached and moments later it crashed into the skyscraper.<\/p>\n

The crash took place inside a no-fly zone just just a few kilometres from Zhongnanhai, the Communist Party\u2019s heavily guarded headquarters.<\/p>\n

He said: \u2018Not many more seconds of flying and [the crash] might have been at Zhongnanhai\u2026 [That would have been] an earthquake in Beijing\u2019s security system.\u2019<\/p>\n
