bad enough that the rest of the U.S thinks detroit is just a crime-filled cesspool (i work IN detroit and its NOTHING like that)
he crashed due to pilot error and plane problems, you can knock it off with the "oh, this wouldnt have happened if the tigers lost"
What anti-Tigers crap?! I love the Tigers and I'm glad they beat the crap out of the Yankiees. The Yankees are scum and I dislike them intensely.
The fact that they were "The Chosen Ones" in 2006 and have exited in the first round gives me an intense feeling of Schadenfreude.
Lidle or his instructor (both?) radioed MAYDAY! after banking hard trying to evade the building. And, that Lidle had radioed the Teeterboro (N.J.) airport from which the plane took off reporting fuel problems.
But let the whacknuts have their sick fun. I'm only surprised someone hasn't yet called it a Yankee conspiracy to take the wind out of the New York Mets on the threshold of the National League Championship Series---since the Mets' third base coach lives in the building the Lidle plane hit. (The coach, Manny Acta, is said to have been answering his cell phone all day Wednesday by starting with, "I'm alive" or "I'm ok." The Mets found him temporary accommodations after the crash, until it's determined he can return to his apartment safely.)
