He is rumoured as of right now to have been piloting the plane that crashed into the building in Manhatten.

My condolences to his family and friends

Rumored where? This is a pretty far out claim. You need to post a link or source or something.

APujols5 · 10-11-2006, 06:00 PM

CNN is saying they think he was piloting the plane

grace. · 10-11-2006, 06:00 PM

New York Yankees manager Joe Torre says the plane that crashed into a building in Manhattan is registered to team pitcher Cory Lidle.

Erik W. · 10-11-2006, 06:00 PM

Wow. I have nothing else to add. Just wow.

Jason · 10-11-2006, 06:00 PM

Joe Torre told CNN the plane was registered to Lidle. Too early to say he was the pilot but it does at least bring a valid concern for Lidle's safety.

APujols5 · 10-11-2006, 06:01 PM

according to CNN's live coverage on right now, it was Lidle and his flight instructor

sporr · 10-11-2006, 06:02 PM

Confirmed by ESPN.

Big Willis 16 · 10-11-2006, 06:02 PM

Breaking news on ESPN just announced that Cory Lidle was the pilot of the plane.

Gastric ReFlux · 10-11-2006, 06:02 PM

No freaking way

Jason Moyer · 10-11-2006, 06:02 PM

Fox is reporting that it is believed he was piloting it. Can't confirm it yet, but if so, very sad.

i think ill wait for CNN to say it was cory lidle...not espn. And CNN JUST SAID they arent positive if it was Lidle or not

EDIT: Now they just said it was Lidle because they found his passport on the ground after it crashed.

APujols5 · 10-11-2006, 06:04 PM

Again my condolences go to Lidle's family, the Yankees and the Phillies families as well.

CNN Update, no confirmations yet but the FBI says Lidle was flying and his passport was found on the street below, and its not being debated if there was anyone with him

Lidle dies as plane crashes into Manhattan high-rise
ESPN.com news services

NEW YORK -- A small plane piloted by New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed into a 50-story condominium tower Wednesday on Manhattan's Upper East Side, raining flaming debris onto the sidewalks below and rattling New Yorkers' nerves five years after the Sept. 11 attack.

Lidle died in the crash.

The twin-engine plane came through a hazy, cloudy sky and hit the 20th floor of The Belaire -- a red-brick tower overlooking the East River, about five miles from the World Trade Center -- with a loud bang, touching off a raging fire that cast a pillar of black smoke over the city and sent flames shooting from four windows on two adjoining floors.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
