Holy Cow!

It is so eerie to say, "a plane hit a building in Manhattan". There is such a large set of emotions that is associated with that sentence. But this time it was an accident. Apparently a small air plane had issues and crashed into an apartment building on 72nd street in Manhattan. A Yankee pitcher, Cory Lidel, was in the plane when it crashed. I don't know much about him except that he was a decent pitcher and he was traded to the Yankee's from the Phillies earlier this year.

So far, CNN is reporting that there were only two fatalities (Lidel and possibly his flying instructor). I think that is amazing since they flew into an apartment building in a major city.
