[editor's note, by dajafi] From the diaries. Shocking and tragic.

Wow, just... wow.

Here's the story from CBS Sportsline.

Apparently the plane crashed into a condo building in Manhattan. Just saw on ESPNNews that Lidle is confirmed dead.

Absolutely tragic. I'm still in shock. Obviously, my thoughts go out to his family.

RIP Cory.

Update [2006-10-11 17:15:39 by DanT]: It turns out Lidle was the pilot of the plane. Still no word on who the other passengers were, or if anyone in the building was hurt (or how it happened.

Update [2006-10-11 17:23:5 by DanT]: Here's the story from ESPN. It turns out Cory was the only person on the plane, and the three other deaths were in the building. On a side note, if anyone has seen the footage on TV, considering it happened five miles from the WTC, this feels even worse.

Heard the whole thing unfold listening to the radio while driving from Bucks County to northern NJ. It was interesting and pretty moving to hear the perspective of two different cities. I'm crushed when I think about Cory's family... his wife, son, and twin brother.
