They don't know yet if it was a plane or a helicopter.

My brother was living in a high-rise at the marina (a block away from the WTC) on 9/11, had to evacuate and never returned to his apartment.
According to Google maps the building that was hit today is almost right across the street from where he's living now.
I think I'd better give him a call.

They went back and forth, but now say fixed wing. Been watching video for 10-12 minutes.

It was a courtesy to silvurna, that's all. Go back to your cheese grater and work on your next epic take.

The plane was registered to Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle, but it's unknown if he was on it.

Invading Syria here would be the most appropriate response.

Your brother is a plane magnet. Tell him to stay the fuck away from high rises.

Didn't see the TWIS post.
Lidle is supposed to be the pilot.

Shower rod: Just as effective but a lot less spectacular.

ESPN radio just confirmed it was Lidle at the helm of the plane.
Guess he took the loss pretty hard.

At least this clears up a roster spot and frees up some cash...

Cnn also just said it was reportedly Lidle, who was flying home today for the offseason.

When he was traded from the Phillies he was ripped for being a scab as well as not being as focused on pitching as he was a pilot.
I guess he sucked at both.

I wonder if King George cut the brake lines or messed with the catalytic converter.

Cicero could beat you up for that.
Besides, evryone in NY already knows it A-Rods fault.

I'm sure Yankee fans wish it was A Rod instead.

I doubt Torre uses A Rod as a pall bearer.. he did have 24 errors this year.

Steinbrenner will do anything to keep the Mets out of the NY papers.

How odd...I hit google up for a Corey Lidle picture and I find one with him flying a plane. He's on the right with the blue cap. I'm too tired to wytch him crashing into a building.

Oh, and what's with the "NORAD Fighters are still airborne over several US cities"?
Did they detect a conspiracy to have other crappy MLB releif pitchers crash planes into buildings all around the country?
