This good amateur video taken after FD operations began shows the magnitude of the fire:

The Federal Aviation Administration said the plane, a Cirrus SR 22 (now being reported as a Piper Cherokee), departed from Georgetown airport north of Austin at about 9:40 a.m. 

BREAKING….. Reports are now coming in that the pilot lives nearby and shortly before this event he set his own house on fire before leaving for the airport.

Earlier, the Austin Fire Department confirmed that there was a house fire in the neighborhood ongoing when the plane crashed into the 7-story office building, setting it alight.

Update #1:
The pilot is believed to be a man named Joseph Andrew Stack.  His daughter has stated that he did in fact set the family home on fire this morning and then left.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has some offices in the building and Stack has recently had some sort of conflict with them.

Here is some early raw video of the fire including some footage taken before the FD arrived and set up operations:

Update #2:
At 12:35 pm Central time a press conference was held.  The mayor and a fire department official reported that the fire is contained and only spot fires remain to be extinguished.  Two people have been transported with injuries and one person remains unaccounted for.  A thorough secondary search is being conducted in the building and it is being coordinated with structural engineers due to some sections that are unstable.

Police are saying that they know  the airplane was not stolen.

An eyewitness who was in a neighboring building says that a glass company truck was there when it happened and they used their ladders to make some citizen rescues before the FD arrived.
