NEW YORK (CNN) -- Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was the sole person aboard the plane that crashed Wednesday into a high-rise apartment building in New York, FBI officials told CNN.
Emergency responders found his passport in the street below, the officials said.

Cory Lidle (NY yankee pitcher) was flying his plane and it got fuel problems and crashed. Also, here is a coincidence, 10_11--6 is when he crashed, but when you flip the number around, it's 90-11-01, I though that was really weird!

YESSS it's true!!! The FBI has stated that they don't believe it's terrorist activity, but all the reports aren't out yet.
I do think however, they would treat it as terrorist activity until they determine otherwise.

Was a helicopter, and they say it might be from a gust of wind, not a terrorist attack.
