News: Small Plane Crashes into NYC building

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Per CNN.

[Sure-Oz]

Link??! and wtf

[noa]

They just said they aren't sure if its a small plane or a helicopter

[Bugeater]

Possibly caused by foggy conditions.

[StcChief]

Working their way forward it's 10-11-2006

[2112]

I live 45 minutes from NYC..It's cloudy and overcast..but not foggy..

[Saulbadguy]

Was it Brook Berringer?

[boogblaster]

low flying object hit apartment building..suspected hide-out of Bin Laden..said he took off out the back..his camel was on fire.....

[tk13]

On MSNBC they have an eyewitness, vice president of NBC news who happened to see it... said she heard an odd noise, looked up, believed it was a helicopter... and it was coming "down" into the building. She said it didn't look like the craft was aiming full-speed ahead at the building or anything, that it just kinda "came down" and crashed into the building.

[Bugeater]

That's what CNN said. Argue with them about it. I does look a little foggy on TV.

[siberian khatru]

Was it Brook Berringer?

I don't know who's going to hell first: You for posting that, or me for laughing at it.

[morphius]

Seeing it here are work, looks pretty bad, but not horrible.

[siberian khatru]

Has anyone blamed Bush yet?

[Bugeater]

Was it Brook Berringer?

[Chief Henry]

Was it Brook Berringer?

ROFL


Oh that was terrible, but funny.

[dollar1]

[siberian khatru]

That's OK, we understand why you're offended. Alanm will be around soon to also set us straight.

[Bugeater]

CNN is reporting that NORAD is now sending up fighter jets to monitor air traffic over many US cities. They seem to stress that they don't believe this was terrorist related, but a precautionary measure.

Well they don't seemed worried.

[Otter]

CNN just reported that National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley tried to alert the President Bush to the situation but he refused to be interrupted until his nephew was done reading "The Cat in the Hat" to him.

[DMAC]

Tell me it had Geathers and Rolle in it.

Building or plane...either one.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Jake Plummer has been taking flying lessons in the NYC area.

The Nebraska Song Lyrics

by Sawyer Brown

Well I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned eighteen today
I'm college bound for Lincoln
Nebraska's where I'll stay

It's been my dream all my life
To play football on this field
And if I ever get the chance
I'll make you this deal

I'll work hard I'll do my part
You won't hear me complain
I'll never go down easy
I swear I'll pull my weight

Hey there Mr. Osborne
I'll do anything to play
And it sure would be a honor sir
To call you coach someday

Here in the middle of the middle west
We ain't afraid to fight
Well I've looked to you sir
Now I'll look you in the eye

Well I hear something calling me
Like I've never heard before
It's a red and white freight train
And I wanna get on board

I'll work hard I'll do my part
You won't hear me complain
I'll never go down easy
I swear I'll pull my weight

Hey there Mr. Osborne
I'll do anything to play
And it sure would be a honor sir
To call you coach someday

I came up from Goodland, Kansas
I turned eighteen today
I'm college bound for Lincoln
Nebraska's where I'll stay

[Monty]

Very nice, I had forgotten about that song. :bravo:

[ptlyon]

It was written before he even died - he and Mark Miller were friends and they wanted to pay it for him if he won the Heisman.

[Rausch]

It crashed into the top 1/3 of the building, into the SIDE of it, not the top (whatever IT was.)

[Ultra Peanut]

Working their way forward it's 10-11-2006Nevar forget.

[Bugeater]

Taco John is reporting that it was an inside job.

[BIG_DADDY]

Bush knew all about this beforehand.

[siberian khatru]

I question the timing of this -- 4 weeks before the election, Mark Foley dominating the news, Barbra Streisand mocking Bush in a concert ... :hmmm:

[Ultra Peanut]

Fox News Alert: Did Democrats intentionally pilot aircraft into building?

Can you prove they didn't?

[Bugeater]

CNN is now reporting that the plane belonged to a member of the NY Yankees.

[recxjake]

cory lidle the pitcher for the yankees was the pilot.... probably dead

[tk13]

MSNBC is reporting that NY Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was in the process of buying this plane.

I wouldn't have bought that one then

[JBucc]

Is he the one that beat his wife?

[siberian khatru]

Wow. As if enough Yankees didn't already crash and burn lately.

[tk13]

AP now reporting that Cory Lidle was indeed on the plane.

[dirk digler]

Man you guys are bad

[Saulbadguy]

.

[HolmeZz]

It was Cory Lidle. They found his passport on the ground. He's dead.

[siberian khatru]

Man you guys are bad

Ironically, Lidle was known for having good control.

[SPchief]

Dude your going to hell

[Frazod]

I just relayed this info to one of the attorneys from New York, who is a Yankees fan. The first thing he said was "Oh well. He was a free agent." :D

[WilliamTheIrish]

Saul....

[Calcountry]

I question the timing of this -- 4 weeks before the election, Mark Foley dominating the news, Barbra Streisand mocking Bush in a concert ... :hmmm:That, and the ****s testing nukes, Bush will stop at nothing to win the election, even detonating a nuke you lar bomb in the U.S. is not beyond him.

[siberian khatru]

That, and the gooks testing nukes, Bush will stop at nothing to win the election, even detonating a nuke you lar bomb in the U.S. is not beyond him.

And killing free agent Yankee pitchers. That bastard!

[FAX]

That is very sad.

FAX

[Saulbadguy]

Saul....
I apologize. My classless-ness has spilled over in to other boards. Chuckle.

[siberian khatru]

I guess that Abreu trade isn't so one-sided now.

[bushmaster]

lidle was upset about the possible firing of torre.

[siberian khatru]

Returning to seriousness for a moment ... how did a plane get into Manhattan. After 9/11, wasn't that supposed to be a no-no?

[FAX]

Lidle was a little low on that one.

FAX

['Hamas' Jenkins]

I'm normally as classless as the next guy, but if this was Zach Grienke I doubt you guys would find this as funny.

[siberian khatru]

I'm normally as classless as the next guy, but if this was Zach Grienke I doubt you guys would find this as funny.

Actually, with Zach it would make a lot more sense.

[FAX]

I'm sorry, Mr. 'Hamas' Jenkins, you're right.

By the way, I heard that Lidle had a passenger in the plane. I think he'd have probably been better off walking that guy.

FAX

[siberian khatru]

Blame Saul. He started it.

I promise I'll quit now.

'Tis a sad situation.

[Spott]

Is he the one that beat his wife?


No, he just killed her.

[SPchief]

I'm sorry, Mr. 'Hamas' Jenkins, you're right.

Reports are TO hired Lidle to help kill himself but TO missed the flight.

[RealSNR]

Wow. Talk about a foul play

[siberian khatru]

Oh, yeah, NOW y'all chime in.

[dirk digler]

Lidle was a little low on that one.

FAX

LMAO

This shit isn't funny...

LMAO

[RealSNR]

Oh, yeah, NOW y'all chime in.You're right, this is wrong.

On that note, we could've avoided this completely if Lidle had grounded the plane

[HolmeZz]

If the Yankees had just beaten the Tigers, 4 lives would've been saved. I think there's a valuable life lesson in there somewhere.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Oh noes, it's...Cory Lidle?!?

[RP_McMurphy]

It couldn't have been Greinke. Cause flying requires a modicum of intelligence. So that knocks out Greinke very quickly.

[Nightwish]

Has anyone blamed Bush yet?
Pick yer nut - somebody's going to blame Bush, or the Dems, or the gays, or the libs, or pagans, or disgruntled Taco Bell employees.

[tk13]

If the Yankees had just beaten the Tigers, 4 lives would've been saved. I think there's a valuable life lesson in there somewhere.
That sounds cruel, but I'll admit I was just thinking that. At least how different things can affect what happens in your life I guess. If they'd just won some baseball games, he'd still be playing, would've had to be at the ballpark tonight, and never would've died. That's pretty weird.

The same thing could have been said if the Chiefs had won the year #58 was killed.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I'm normally as classless as the next guy... .
Get with the program, Mister!!

[Frazod]

The same thing could have been said if the Chiefs had won the year #58 was killed.

Three, actually. The smart guy who was wearing his seat belt walked away with cuts and bruises.

[sedated]

If they'd just won some baseball games, he'd still be playing, would've had to be at the ballpark tonight, and never would've died. That's pretty weird.


...that, and I wouldn't have lost 500 bucks

['Hamas' Jenkins]

The same thing could have been said if the Chiefs had won the year #58 was killed.

The Pete Stoyonavich corollary:

Stoyo makes that kick against the Raiders, the chiefs win the division, and get to host the hapless Dolphins. Marino was terrible on the road in the playoffs. We most likely win that game go to Indianapolis to face Big Brother in his first NFL playoff game. Who knows if we win that game or not, but given Manning's history in the playoffs, it is highly likely. Tennessee probably beats Jax at Jax, as they did in the AFC Champ game that year. We most likely lose to Tennessee as they were a team of destiny with a better O and a better D and phenomenal luck, but Thomas is there instead of on the icy roads of KC.


That one bothered me for a long time, even with all the externalities.

[Hammock Parties]

PETE STOYANOVICH KILLED DERRICK THOMAS!

[StcChief]

I ride in a Cessna single engine in 1976 was enough to say NEVER AGAIN in a small plane.

[HMc]

I tend to avoid both a)single engined aircraft, and b)driving my SUV at speed along icey roads without my seatbelt on

[Ultra Peanut]

TORREHU AKBAR!

[ptlyon]

If they'd just won some baseball games, he'd still be playing, would've had to be at the ballpark tonight, and never would've died.

Oh, he would have died eventually...

Hideki Matsui Unable To Grasp Translator's Explanation Of Where Cory Lidle Is

October 19, 2006 | Issue 42•42

NEW YORK—Hideki Matsui's interpreter Roger Kahlon has been unable explain to the Yankees' Japanese-speaking left fielder that former teammate Cory Lidle died instantaneously last Wednesday after flying his four-seat, SR20 aircraft into a high-rise apartment building in Manhattan's Upper East Side. "At this point, I'm pretty sure [Matsui] thinks Lidle is either in his four-bedroom apartment or on a 20-minute plane ride to upstate New York," Kahlon said, adding that in order to make Lidle's whereabouts clear to Matsui, he has even resorted to making one of his hands into a plane, the other into a building, crashing them together, and making explosion noises. "This kind of thing just doesn't translate very well." According to Kahlon, the last time he asked Matsui where Cory Lidle was, a confused Matsui answered, "The bullpen."
