Lets set our fav baseball teams aside for a moment. I think it is tragic to see an athlete go out like this. The poor man, and I wonder how his family and teammates are feeling right now. Makes me want to shed a tear for him. It is tragic to see an athlete go out in his prime. Only 34 years old, and still had the rest of his life ahead of him.

On October 11, 2006, a plane reportedly pending registration toand being flown by Lidle crashed into a building on New York City's Upper East Side. His death makes him the second Yankees player to die while flying his own plane. Apparently, he lost radio communtication with the tower and had fuel problems. Shortley after about half an hour, at about 2:51 pm, Cory Lidle's plane chased into the 50-story buliding. Pedestrians hoped that it wasn't another terriost attack. But all worries were relieved. But sadder news broke in. New York Police Department reported that they found Cory Lidle's Passport on the sidewalk and a few hours later the confirmed that Cory Lidle was on board of the plane. Shortly after, Cory Lidle was pronounced dead at the scene. NY Yankees mangers, players, fans, and all of the other teammates that worked with Cory Lidle broke into tears when they found out that he was killed. We are sure to be belive that at the beginning of the first game of the NY Yankees Season Opener, there will be a tribute to Cory Lidle and his family. Cory Lidle, March 22nd 1972 - October 11th 2006, WE WILL MISS YOU!!! REST IN PEACE! GO YANKS!!!!!!!!!

It's very very sad and tragic. I'm sure the Yankee players, his ex-teammates from other teams, family and friends are all stunned by this as is the general public. A young man gone at 34....such a shame. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

He was a licensed private pilot, doing something he loved when he died. Can any of us hope to die in such manner? It is always tragic when someone dies in an accident, sure. But death is a part of life of course.

It's no more tragic to see him go this way than it is anyone else - his celebrity doesn't make it any better or worse, in my opinion.

He crashed a plane into an apartment building killing at least 4 people and we should feel sorry for him? Please remember the people he killed.
