“The whole plane has a parachute on it,” Lidle said. “Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you’re up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly.”

No not at all, this only reminds the people of what can happen, that air space in the area over the river is unrestricted, the Muslims can load a small plane up with explosives and fly right into NYC, pick a target and attack us again, and don't think for one minute that those smelly bastards aren't watching every bit of what is going on in NY today.
Our Govt had fighter planes flying over many of America's big city's today right after this happened I hope to God the Liberals aren't offended by this.
Mikey, the last I heard two people in the bulding died and possibly more.
I apologize for any insensitive remarks on my part.
Apparently, Cory Lidle went to the Thurman Munson school of flying. Why couldnt he be flying the Yankees team plane?
When I saw the headlines on my home page I was stunned. I browsed the news to get the latest on this tragic accident. I figured there would be some comments and condolences on Patsfans and figured to leave one of my own. It was bad enough too see the usual political pissing contest going on, but to see this horrific attempt at a joke puts being a social outcast in perspective. My condolences to the Lidle family and all who died in this accident. My hope that the Munson family and friends are not visitors to this site and I wish them well, as I'm sure this brings back painful memories to them.

I am surprised that the air space over NYC is not restricted.
I work on 42nd and my son interns at Columbia. So this is scary situation.

The feds choose to not differentiate between different types of aeronautical activity. An airliner is given no more preferential treatment than a glider. Since you can't close the airspace over major cities (how would anyone travel anywhere?) it has to be available to everyone. All they choose to do is charge a landing fee at a few of the major airports. That tends to keep the little planes from landing and taking off there; but that's it.
edit: That's not to say that there's no rules for operating over the city, there's a ton of them in fact. Just that anyone who chooses to obey those rules is as welcome to operate there as anyone else.

I was very surprised to hear that also, my Grandaughter told me that so I am not absolutely positive of it.
She lives in Brooklyn and was in Manhattan on 9/11, we didn't hear from her for 35 hours I thought she was dead, she had an appointment in the North Tower at 9:30 AM she was in a restaraunt at the other end of town when the planes hit. She came back to Maine and stayed for two weeks, she still lives and works there though. You are right it is scary but you can't stop living.

He didn't just not see the bulding and fly into it; he made a mayday call and reported fuel problems before crashing.

That's a little off-base. New York City is almost entirely Class B controlled air space because of the major airports around it, meaning even VFR (visual flight rules) flights need Air Traffic Control clearence before entering the airspace. The FAA says he literally disappeared off their radar.
