Private Plane Crashes into NY Highrise Bullding

[Ron Lambert]

This story would not be believable if I read it in a novel. A private plane crashed into a highrise building in New York City today. At first, people across the nation wondered if it were a new terrorist attack on 10/11. Fighter aircraft reportedly were scrambled around the nation, to patrol over major cities. The stock market reacted fearfully. Then reports came that the plane was owned and presumably flown by NY Yankees' pitcher, Cory Lidle. His passport reportedly was found on the street below. Witnesses said the plane was flying erractically before the crash.

Here is a link to the CNN story:
