Small Plane Crashes Into Beijing's Tallest Building
Authorities evacuated occupants and closed roads after the aircraft damaged upper floors of the 109-story tower, with no casualties confirmed.
- On Friday, June 26, 2026, a B-12PP light aircraft crashed into the 109-story CITIC Tower in Beijing's central business district, scattering debris and forcing an immediate evacuation of the skyscraper.
- Standing 528 meters tall, the building—known as China Zun—serves as headquarters for the state-owned CITIC Group and houses 60 office floors, luxury apartments, and a 300-room hotel.
- Witnesses identified the aircraft as a Sunward SA 60L Aurora that struck the upper floors, shattering windows and sending debris plunging to the ground, which triggered a massive emergency response.
- Beijing police cordoned off surrounding roads and restricted photography, while investigators examined unverified flight data suggesting the aircraft significantly deviated from its planned flight path before impact.
- Authorities have not confirmed casualty numbers or the crash's cause, and social media posts about the incident were reportedly removed, leaving details about those aboard currently unclear.
