Air Plain Crash in New York

This week an air plain crashed into a 80 floor building in New York. The plain was a private plain, inside there were two people the baseball pitcher, Cory Lidle and his flight instructor, Taylor Stranger. It seems that the plain had motor problems. Cory Lidle was a major league pitcher for 9 years. Lidle was 34 years old. He has a wife called Melanie and a 6-year-old son called Christopher. Cory Lidle was in the New York Yankees.
"Its very tragic" Bloomberg, the Yankee coach, said.“We have to say a little
prayer for those we lost."
Lidle and Stanger left a small airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The plane circled the Statue of Liberty and then headed north up the East River, along the eastern shore of the island of Manhattan. The plane veered off its path as it approached East 72nd Street, crashing into the high-rise apartment building at about 2:45 p.m. Residents in and around the building said they heard a huge explosion. Many people saw large flames coming from the windows high above the street. Pieces of debris from the plane and the building fell to the street as the fire spread. Mayor Bloomberg said 11 firefighters were injured while fighting the blaze. The life of Cory Dible was very good and all the Yankee players are praying for him and his family. That is how life is.
