The plane that flew into the 50 story residential building on E. 72nd Street in NYC was owned and flown today by NY Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle.

FBI reports that Lidle was the only person on the plane at the time of the crash and that Lidle did not survive. In total 2 people have been reported killed and sixteen people have been admitted to area hospitals with injuries sustained from the crash. Eleven of the sixteen injured are NY Firefighters, injuries are not known at this time. Witnesses state that the plane was flying “erratically” before crashing into the building.

NORAD Commander Timothy Keating reports that fighter planes were dispatched immediately over numerous cities in the US and Canada, just as a “precaution”. The fighter planes are still in the air and will be until Commander Keating and the Secretary of Defense determine that all is clear.

FBI states “No indication of terrorism”.
