They haven't yet confirmed his death, but it doesn't sound good.
The headline reads: Yankee Cory Lidle on NYC plane; 2 killed link

I just can't figure out why people who own small planes are stupid enough to fly them around in a big city, where there are lots of tall buildings around! I mean, what if something goes wrong with the controls? I'd rather be in a big, flat field with nothing to hit by the ground than to try and dodge big buildings.

Because the Yankees would do anything to steal a headline from the Mets.
