A condolences to the nation for living through the fear of thinking it might be another terrorist attack. Yankees and airplanes don’t mix well.
Very, very sorry to hear about this. I really hope more amateur pilots think twice about flying in this kind of weather, at night, around Manhattan.
Heartbreaking.
Ya know, Lidle wasn’t a very good player for the Reds, but he was a Red, and that’s enough for me. Redleg Nation’s thoughts are with his family.
Any inclination on whether it was pilot error or mechanical issues?
sad … just sad.
