What I heard sounded like small building demolitions so I didn't think much of it, but I knew something was wrong when less than a minute later a ton of NYPD and FD were all rushing back in that direction.

I tried to go back and get pics of my own but everything is blocked off...rather not try and interfere.

Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle apparently owned and was flying the plane.

Too bad the plane crashed. Most unfortunate.

Yankees still suck.

It doesn't need to be a political shitfest, but it does need to change direction very quickly before it gets locked.

Terrorism has already been ruled out, so really that part of the conversation is pointless.

I just stumbled across this. Looks like the plane was registered to Yankee's pitcher Lidle, and he was on board. Not confirmed dead yet, but it is a very real possibility.

Associated Press said he wasn't confirmed dead about 1 minute ago, but ESPN says he is...

This thread has been cut down to its essential elements.

He flew a plane in weather he was not trained to fly in, and it cost him his life, simple as that.

The sky is unforgiving of trespasses.

1 racial comment by the original poster led to the downfall of this thread.

Had that comment not been made, none of the other comments would have ever occured.

I regret that it had to come to that.

After I issued the warning to change the subject, the original poster attempted to get back on topic several times.

The others continued the wrong conversation, which was unacceptable.
