Plane Crash at IRS Building in Austin

As I'm sure a lot of folks have heard by now, a small plane crashed into an Internal Revenue Service building in Austin, TX. The National Treasury Employees Union represents workers at the building, and Colleen Kelley has sent along this statement:

This morning at about 9:30 am local time a small plane crashed into an IRS building in Austin. I have been in touch with the IRS and Chapter 52 officials. Many NTEU members and bargaining unit employees work in this building. There are approximately 150 IRS employees in the building. These employees include revenue agents, revenue officers, estate and gift tax attorney, tax compliance officers, employees from LMSB and SB/SE. The IRS is reporting that all employees have been accounted for and NTEU is trying to verify that information. News reports are reporting one person unaccounted for. There are reports of IRS employees with burns and smoke inhalation and NTEU is trying to verify that information as well. Also unknown is the cause of the crash. I am closely monitoring this situation and NTEU is reaching out to affected IRS Austin employees.

My thoughts are with the folks in Austin. I hope everyone turns up safe, and heals, both physically and emotionally, from the experience.
