Small plane, they are saying there was no radio contact. It was an apartment bldg on the east side. 2 dead from falling debris. They have not been able to enter the bldg yet.

Fighter jets have been scrambling overhead the past 15 minutes.

Fox reports that the plane was piloted by NY Yankees' pitcher Cory Lidle, and that he has died in the crash.

Yes, he had just got his private pilot license and just bought a Cirrus 20..he also had two people with him

The Cirrus has a parachute...but....it won't do you any good if you fly into a building.

Just another lapse in airspace in NYC. That could have been a terrorist. Another example of one of my favorite oxymorons coined by G-dub-YAH our "leader", "homeland security"

Well it wasn't Kim Jong, no need to invade NK, it was indeed New York Yankee Lidle. Sad.
Meanwhile, the fighter jets continue overhead. Good thing I love those guys.
