Yankees pitcher dies in plane crash

[Necee419]

Yesterday afternoon, Cory Lidle, a 34 year old pitcher from the New York Yankees flew his small plane into a high rise apartment building in Manhattan . He was killed along with his flight instructer. I heard this news while at work and was pretty scared at first. Hearing that a plane had crashed into a building in NYC sent shivers of deja vu up my spine. Then my grandma calls me and reminds me that yesterday was 10/11. That was enough to make me extremely nervous. Rumors of terrorism were quickly dismissed as more details became available but I was still worried. The accident took place on 72nd Street in the upper east side of Manhattan which is right on my path home. I saw lots of police cars and a bit of smoke when I passed through but my bus was detoured because they closed off a few blocks for police and emergency vehicles. The whole thing was a terrible tragedy, and Cory Lidle left behind a wife of nearly 10 years and a 6 year old little boy. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones and the city is just devastated by this loss.
