It was Yankee's pitcher Cory Lidle. He's dead and apparently so is at least one person that was in the apartment/condo. How much would that suck to be the guy in the apartment?

Not exactly sure. they are saying now that 4 are dead. 1 they say is New York Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle. I still have the same question as you tho. how could this happen.. either terriost or stupidity....im thinking stupidity...

"NEW YORK - A small plane with New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle aboard crashed into a 50-story condominium tower Wednesday on Manhattan's Upper East Side, killing at least four people, authorities said. "

Was gonna post this, just heard about it. Talk about crazy shit. Planes flying into building in NY = Not cool. Not to mention somebody of the stature of Cory Lidle being ALONE in the plane piloting it, and flying it into a building. That's nuts!

I'm pretty sure it was just Cory Lidle, dont think there was another Yankee on-board..

Thats what the news was saying over here anyway...

And just to be factually accurate- the plane is only registered to him, no official news he was onboard technically.

The news here is saying there was only one person in the plane and SUPPOSEDLY his (Lidle's) license was found on site.
