I don't know if anyone else has been following the events that have occured today in NYC. But when it was first reported I said a prayer. But it seems like right now is was a tragic accident affecting many people including the New York Yankee Pitching Staff.

According to report Yankee Pitcher Cory Lidle was piloting a plane that crashed into a residential apartment complex on the 40th floor in New York City.

Even though I'm a Red Sox Fan I feel for all the Family members that have been affected by todays tragedy.

Don't know how many people were in the bed but from reports at least a dozen or so have been hospitalized majority of them are Firefighter/Police personnel, I think I heard a total of four or five people were deceased.

It doesnt matter if he was a Yankee or a Cardinal its a very sad thing to have happen. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by this tragedy.
