RE: Small aircraft piloted by Yankee pitcher crashes into NYC high-rise building
I didn't hear what model airplane this is other than a rumor about it having a fixed-wing and four passenger plane. They said the pitcher just started flying so I would assume it would be a small Cessna like a 172. They said that he looked like he was doing an acrobatic move before he hit the building.
I would say what happened was he probably either lost control or he had something like a heart attack. I'm not expert on planes but from my experience with my dad being a pilot I can tell you this much. You never, ever do any acrobatic moves in a high wing plane, let alone a plane not designed for acrobatic moves.
The Governor said there is NOTHING to suggest that this was a terrorist attack so don't worry about it. I just thought you guys would like to know. I'm going to say some prayers for those involved in this accident and I encourage others to do the same.
