Kalapse Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Cory Lidle is now confirmed dead, he was only a pilot for 8 months, there was a flight instructor on board the plane at the time of impact. Lidle's passport was found on the street below the crash as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbeFroman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Heres an interesting fact: Cory Fulton Lidle is (was) a direct descendent of Robert Fulton, who was who was widely credited with developing the first commercially successful steamboat. How about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuskyCaucasian Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I was listening to Boers and Bersie and they were floored when this crossed the wire. It completely caught them off guard. amazing. for all those involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanOfCorn Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Horrible, horrible news. An eyewitness claims she saw smoke coming off the plane prior to hitting the high rise. Prayers to the Lidle family and the NY Yankee organization. Kinda makes the whole Torre, A-Rod thing small in comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AbeFroman Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 CNN is reporting he was the only person on board the plane... they say there was no instructor on board. That means the three people who died were in the building at the time of the accident... thats horrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4 dead seems to be right, but different outlets seem to be reporting different amounts on board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 for the family. My wife is in NY and watched it happen. She said the plane definitely looked like it was having problems prior to the hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good source, but what a horrific thing to see.. ETA - Yahoo and AP say 2 bodies were seen, CNN and MSNBC say 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 This is unbelievable. I heard about the crash hours and hours ago, like most, but never would have thought it was going to be Lidle. Prayers to him and his family.

Dan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 check my previous statement of 4 dead. 2 confirmed dead, Lidle was NOT alone in plane. took off from a small airfield in Northern NJ and took flight plan up the east river in NYC. CNN is reporting all sorts of info so im gonna stay with ESPN and the Baseball tonight crew. reporter from ESPN says Lidle reported having fuel problems just minutes after take off.

redandwhite Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Did anybody just hear that? Cory Lidle's wife and kid/s are on a commerical flight to Los Angeles and still don't know that there husband and father respectively has passed. This report is plastered all over the News, what a terrible way of being informed, not that there is any good way to hear such horrid news.

She was down the block walking to her hotel. She heard the noise of the plane and watched it hit. She was pretty shook up as she had many co-workers die on 9/11. She quickly realized it was a small plane and said that there was a very quick response by EMS and law enforcement. She said it was a surreal experience and is still a little shaken.
