thorne Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) -- Police say an aircraft has crashed into a building on Manhattan's Upper East Side at 72nd Street and York Avenue. It is near Rockefeller Center. There was no word on casualties. Video from the scene shows at least three apartments in the high rise fully engulfed in flames. It's unclear if it was a small plane or a helicopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted October 11, 2006 Report Share Posted October 11, 2006 The pilot was NY Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle. He's dead, and four others. Oops. They're saying it was a fuel problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I think it's kind of odd that his Mets Manager/Coach, whatever lived in the building and that his altitude dropped quickly when he got in the vicinity of the building....?!?! He also just got his pilots license in the last off season.....hmmm....??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
