Does anything say how long he was a pilot for? this reminds me of when JFK Jr. crashed and Payne Stuart's(I think that was his name, the golfer) plane going down.

Got his license 4 months ago, couple of hundred hours flight time, according to FNC.
"So, you must really love Led Zeppelin. That’s the oldest shirt I’ve ever seen on someone who wasn’t a bum."
"Hey, if God didn’t want me to wear it so much, he wouldn’t have made them rock so hard."
As opposed to some "regular" person instead of a pro athlete?
it's horrible regardless. but i think when you know the person, not personally obviously, but b/c you're a fan or just know of them b/c they're famous in some way, it's makes it seem a little worse.
Yeah......what I don't particularly care for is that now, on sports talk shows and networks, the guy will be lifted up and glorified, when no such attention would've been paid to Joe Normal. A death is a death. Tragic loss either way.
damn, that's all you need? I thought they were more strict on that.
Which is part of the ongoing discussion on tv right now. Given how many skyscrapers there are in Manhattan, and the amount of air traffic with 3 major international airports serving the city, how come the restrictions on civilian aircraft aren't stricter?

ESPN is reporting:
Lidle was an outcast among some teammates throughout his career because he became a replacement player in 1995, when major-leaguers were on strike.

That's the way it is. The more "famous" you are the more press you get but I don't think you are more "Glorified">
So I'll just lie down and wait for the dream Where I'm not ugly and you're lookin' at me
i think in this situation, a plane crashing into a building in nyc, the pilot would be overanalyzed in the press either way.
I think that is true. The only difference is it wouldn't be being reported on sports networks. But, with the news that he is a professional sports figure, it is right that they too cover the story.
Googled airplane and it was equiped with parachute that deploys in case theres an engine failure...reason he bought it...said it was safer than most planes....site shows actual footage of plane coming down on parachute...it is very slow link though..this will really hurt the manufacturer..for sure...so if you have stock...sell sell.
Well, a report has said there was a mayday call indicating mechanical failure--that could have affected the parachute deployment.
it ironic though, that he bought it for that reason. they just said on msnbc that there was an article in the times, i think, last month about lidle and how he's bought a plane. and he discussed the parachute.

just adding to this thread some interesting info..thats all. I think they said it was fuel related...course at low altitudes in a big city he may not have been able to use the chute anyway....course he may also have stalled it trying to get back to airport....and since he was a new pilot...
Sad.
Scary too. Of course my first fears were terrorist related. Then it became obvious it was an accident...but then I heard the fighter jets fly over my house from the local Air Force base, Selfrige, like they did on 911.
The news say they went up over lots of major cities.
I know the sound of them so well, and they never scared me when I heard them until 911. Now, I can't stand to hear them. Its a sound that makes me feel unsafe.
They haven't come back yet. OOPS...I hear them right now as I was typing!!!! They are just now returning.
Anyway, today was one of those days that felt..."off". So this was scary.
It is sad, but I feel some relief.
They must had sent a lot of jets here. There are lots returning. I heard them leave, but didn't know what was up...and didn't pay attention to how many. Now, it seems a lot are coming back.

No, in general, this is horrible

Same way with me. I dont watch baseball so I don't give a fuck who the guy played for or anything like that. This is just a shitty thing.
This is terrible. Poor guy.

Payne Stewart wasn't the pilot, by the way.
"Hey, if God didn’t want me to wear it so much, he wouldn’t have made them rock so hard."
He was just traded from the Phillies. It brings it a little "closer to home" that's all.

I don't know why I thought stewart was piloting...got mixed up.
