[LiNuX]

a small plane/helicopter crashed on building in Manhatten in New York today. October 11, 2006. It crashed in the uppereast side of manhatten which startled new yorkers about another terror threat.
investigators are trying to figure out if it really was a plane or a chopper at the moment. it crashed on a 50 story building. Yankess Manager Joe Torre told everyone that the craft that crashed was registered to pitcher Cory Lidle. The news said that he was piloting the craft and that he may be dead. that is still unclear as of now. more updates will come later on. There is no signs of a terrorist attack.

NEW YORK (Oct. 13) - A woman whose apartment was burned in the high-rise crash of New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle's plane was the victim of another frightening, bizarre and high-profile Manhattan accident years earlier, when a lamppost knocked over by a parade float seriously injured her.

Kathleen Caronna and her family were unhurt in Wednesday's crash, which killed Lidle and his flight instructor, Tyler Stanger. But the engine of the Cirrus SR20 landed in her bedroom, which went up in flames minutes before she would arrived home, her relatives told the Daily News in Friday's editions.

"How do you go through two major things like this?" Caronna's sister-in-law, Lisa Brown, told the paper. "It's spooky. It's very spooky."

Caronna was critically injured during the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade when the mammoth Cat in the Hat balloon went out of control and knocked part of a lamppost onto her head. The then-33-year-old investment analyst lay in a coma for nearly a month.

Caronna had been watching the parade with her husband and infant son at 72nd Street and Central Park West. The plane crash occurred at 72nd and York Avenue, several blocks east.

The phone rang busy Friday at the apartment on Manhattan's Upper East Side that she shares with her husband, Ignazio Massimo, and their son, now 9."

Me being a HUGE Yankees fan, I'm saddened to see a life lost in a matter of seconds...I remember seeing Cory Lidle on ESPN the day before; he was healthy, funny, aware, alive. Now, he's gone. Like that. A second. I hope we all realize that life is too short and that we have to live it to the fullest every day. 'Cause it could all dissappear in one second. About Lidle's death, Thurman Munson was killed more than 30 years ago in a similar incident...it's really weird, but I think because I have been such a fan of the Yankees for so long, I felt connected to him in some way. Well, I know he'll R.I.P.
