Helicopter crash in NY?

[Russell]

Apparently a helicopter/small plane has crashed into a building in NY, just wanted to check with the NY guys if they knew anything about it, and that none of them were in the building... Upper east side, apparently

It's constantly being updated on the news here, apparently it doesn't look like terrorism.

accident or not...just goes to show that you can still fly planes into buildings.

NYC = sitting duck

where the heck were the supposed anti-aircraft missiles? I thought the policy was to shoot planes out the sky before they hit the building? As Erik said, maybe it was the missile that hit the building, missing the helicopter altogether!!

So I'm stuck in the city and they've shut down the goddamn subway station. I wonder if I can take fluids on to the train home tonight.

Do you usually "take fluids" on the tube?

you will have to drain the vein before mass exodus on steel wheels.

LOL - the plane belonged to Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle.

I always knew that guy was shady. He was way too calm, cool and collected on the mound.

EDIT - HOLY SHIT - LIDLE WAS ONBOARD THE AIRCRAFT!

@ actual story

Was that said in the concerned "Ha, Ha" tone? Like when Bart fell out of the tree?

Holy shit!!!!


at Erik's pic w/ the toy helicopter.


Edit- O.K It's basically confirmed that Lidle is dead. Damn just seen him pitch against the Tigers on Saturday.

10/11 never forget

Wow, that's some pretty bad luck. He was just traded to the Yankees mid-season.

 

[lurch70]

this was a deliberate ploy to distract from the Mets game at Shea tonight ...

OMG Yoshicopter!!!

bwahahaha @ erik and this entire thread.
If I was going to crash an airplane into something accidentally, I'd jump out in the opposite direction and roll when I hit the ground. Never get hurt that way.

I really hate the fact that the focus is going to be on the fact that an athlete happened to be on board instead of everyone else directly affected...either way, private aircraft should not be allowed to joyride over Manhattan...
