As you probably already know, there was a small private plane crash into a building earlier today in New York. According to CNN, that plane belonged to Cory Lidle. Prayers out to all involved in this situation.

 

 

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.

Dang, RIP. Prayers go out to all that are involved

RIP Cory Lidle.

Wow, that's horrible to hear. RIP

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?

Such a shame ... prayers out to his wife and kid.

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.

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.

4 confirmed dead in crash. buildings on the upper east side of manhattan. his family may not know about his accident yet as they are believed to be flying themselves. prayers go out to his family.

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

I wouldn't believe any of that yet. The 4 dead seems to be right, but different outlets seem to be reporting different amounts on board.

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.

What a shame. RIP Cory. My prayers are with your family.

Alone is what witnesses who saw his body still strapped in the seat are claiming. Good source, but what a horrific thing to see..

 

 

 

ETA - Yahoo and AP say 2 bodies were seen, CNN and MSNBC say 1.

This gives me such a weird feeling. I don't know how to describe it.

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.

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.

Wow...omg... I can't believe it...

 

RIP Lidle and prayers go out to his family.

for the family.

Wow. Is your wife ok? I imagine seeing that left her pretty shook up.

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.

Wow. Is your wife ok? I imagine seeing that left her pretty shook up.

 

She's fine thanks for asking. 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.

Thank God for that.

 

And also for the others who lost their lives today.

Horrible story. Saw the initial crash report on CNN while at work than heard it was Lidle on the way home.

Wow. RIP
