Plane Crash in NYC

[schmooze]

Hey all, I just saw a news flash about a small plane crashing into a high rise apartment building in Manhattan. I guess this story just came across the board and is still developing. No details yet. Anyone else know/heard anything?

My guess is a "suicide".

My guess is a "suicide".

All the more reason to grind up those GA planes and quit licensing private pilots.

maybe it was a new instrument student ...

They said the crash wasn't terror related...pay attention.

They're saying it was a Cirrus...

Further proof that the Cirrus is a dangerous airplane.

LOL you really are a tool FN. Where do you think a large portion of CFI's work comes from??? Thats right private training. How do you think they get their hr's

Why don't you crawl back to being banned after your last comments about an accident.

Looks like either a pissed off or disoriented Yankee pitcher....

 

[aussiefly]

CNN is reporting that the owner is Cory Lidle of the NY Yankees

Who's talking about accidents?

Yes, it was registered to him, but I think that it's premature for the news to speculate about whether or not he was aboard until you pull his body out of the building.

But even as I type this, the "Yankee organization" is confirming that a member of their "organization" was aboard.

Jeez.

 

[Green Baron 737]

Fox is now reporting that he was at the controls and is dead. Sad to see. God Speed!

 

[filejw]

Coroners office confirms it.

Interesting article on Lidle as a pilot: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/08/s...44c30a4f4&ei=5090&partner=rssuserland&emc=rss

money, fame, and the power to fix people(doctors) has nothing to do with being able to fly.

 

[DH2WN]

Damn...The Yanks really need pitching too. He could have been good trade bait for Zito.

Looks like Thurman will have a team mate to catch for again.

 

[Cpt. Underpants]

So why is this thread on "Majors"?

Yeah, I know, Yankees, etc...

 

[TennLear60]

Captain Underpants. I love your books.

 

[Palomino]

he was a replacement player during the 1994 strike

Billy Martin will pull him anyway.

Quote from the article a few posts ago:

“Really, anyone can learn how to fly. If you can drive a bus, you can fly an airplane. "

I guess he disproved that theory.

You have to admit, even a caveman can do it.

....well I knew A-rod wasn't flying (too bad) because hit can't hit anything this time of year....

His airplane overran the runway in Burbank today. No gas station job, looks like the clapsable pavement saved the day.
