Lidle Dies After Crashing Small Plane into Building

this is f***cking crazy!

Wow.

My God are you serius.

My God.

...wow... i'm speechless... my prayers to the families of the four who died in the tragic accident.

How in the hell did it happen.

MLB should cancel the Mets/St. Louis game tonight.

They definitly should.

I agree, he started his career on the Mets.

Crazy. Mike & Mad Dog had him on yesterday and were really letting him have it because of his post game comments. Dog's shaken up, as can be expected...

Wow, apparently Lidle is a worse pilot than he is a pitcher. Who woulda thunk it? Bring on the negatives, but you know that was funny!!!!

Am I the only one that thinks he may have done this on purpose??

Lidle and his flight instructor were on board.

Steinbrenner must've thought he was tampering with A-Rod's plane.

Mayor Bloomberg stated that a flight instructor and his student were on the plane. Hence, two people were on the plane.

I listened to this for three hours on AM radio. I just knew that I would see a post when I got home. Has anyone heard if it was an accident or suicide?

NPR said it wasn't confirmed that Lidle was on the plane

I'm sorry but I believe NPR more then ESPN.

Not since Thurman Munson have us Yankees fans have had to deal with something like this...

Oh and it was only two people, including Lidle, that died.

This is a sad day in sports. No matter what your team affiliation, there are moments in life that bring us back to reality, and help us gage what life is really all about. The events of today have done just that. It is a shame to see someones life cut so short. My prayers go out to the Lidle family, and to the families that lost loved ones in this accident. May we all watch the rest of the MLB playoffs with a little more perspective and remember that sometimes winning isnt everything.

Well, at least this should keep T.O. and A-Rod out of the sports headlines for awhile. A shame that someone had to die to bring this about, though...

Cory Lidle put in extremely danger the lives of many innocents, not to mention the huge impact in security issues that US authorities will have to explain to the world community.

This is the link of the live coverage of this foul play plane crashing on that residential New York building recorded live from my TV screen on different cable TV stations covering this horrid event in progress, October 11, 2006. http://www.y...=s87e67I5pGA

I gotta say, I was disgusted at the news coverage. I don't know why I continue to allow myself to be surprised about the depths to which the pathetic news media will sink. Yesterday, they covered this story for hours even when they had nothing to say. From what I've read, it appears they took no steps to ensure the family had been notified before they broke the news that it was Lidle. And the headlines were disgusting. CNN got alliteration happy as, just before they ran the headline "Nuclear Nightmare," they ran the Lidle headline as "High-Rise Horror." They would have been hard-pressed to find a less sensitive headline than that. TV news should be ashamed of istelf.

Wow.

I suppose this breaks the theory that all pilots deliberately try to miss buildings if they know they are in trouble up in the air. Awful week for death in sport (if you take Hunter into account too).

Are there any NASCAR, IRL, ChampCar etc. races this weeekend (they say things happen in threes...)

According to The New York Times: Local pilots with experience traveling through New York City’s busy and tricky airspace said that Lidle’s plane appeared to have followed the rules when he turned left, but that they knew better alternatives: either pilots get clearance from La Guardia, which would not have been a problem on Wednesday; or just skip the East River altogether and go up the Hudson River; or request permission to turn right and make a U-turn that carries them over a sliver of Queens.

One pilot said that he would rather run the risk of receiving a citation by flying without permission through La Guardia airspace than attempting the left turn that Lidle's plane did: This is to put innocent lives in danger!
