I can't remember why, but how come Lidle didn't pitch in Game 4 instead of Wright? Was he hurt?? I believe he was...just can't remember right now.
BREAKING: Small plane crashes into NY high rise..
- Thread starter forest29

Looks like he didn't get incinerated anyway. Not sure if this helps the family or not. I think it would if it were me....
Police initially said two people were killed. WNBC reported two bodies found on the ground, one of which was strapped to an aircraft chair. Two bodies were also found in an apartment in the building, the TV station said
Poor 6 year old son. Just a tragic accident.
Do you think they can autopsy him and see if he had a heart attack? This just doesn't make sense.

If his body is somewhat intact I'm sure they'll do an autopsy....I'm curious to know also, but he had his pilot license for only 8 months, so he was still a rook when it came to flying......
thought id post this incase people didnt read about it....
One of the apartments lidle crashed into belonged to the Mets 3b coach. One of the Mets medical trainers also lives in the building. Across the street is a medical facility and St Louis pitcher Mark Mulder was being treated at the time of the incident.

There's really no such thing as a 'rookie' pilot...well, there shouldn't be given the correct training/instructors etc.
I can only speak for Australia, but you must have at least 40 hours flying (5 solo cross country) and pass a series of flying/written tests long the way...the final test to actually gain your licence lasts for about 2.5 hours and has any number of 'emergency actions' that must be performed upto standard...inc. engine failures, emergency landings etc.
Anyway, he had an instructor with him,and they reportedly did give a may-day call...so I can only assume something went mechanically wrong with the plane.
There was also some very poor reporting early on, claiming the engine must have been still running because the prop was damaged (ie. still turning at the time of impact)...
...no shit! Given the plane didn't drop vertically down out of the sky, it was clearly still moving forward, so the prop will be turning whether the engine is engaging it or not. (Windmilling)
Pretty nasty event that's for sure.
