Isn't it "interesting" how CORY LIDL came to the exact same Aircraft fate as JFK jr's..?
A JFK jr Aircraft fate that CORY LIDL just "happened" to have mentioned in a National TV interview during the Major League Playoff Series last week..?

Strange. Thanks for the ping!
I didn't know that.

If a controlled flight into open water is the "exact same fate" as an apparent mechanical problem and flying into an occupied building, sure.

I'd imagine every famous GA pilot gets asked about that at one time or another.
Another key difference is that JFK Jr. had more money than sense and more plane than he could handle. Lidle's Cirrus SR-20, from the folks I know who are into general aviation, is actually an excellent choice for relative beginners to fly.
It was the first production aircraft to have a ballistic parachute, so if he declared a fuel emergency after takeoff from New Jersey, it would have made more sense to stay over the Hudson and ditch if necessary; I don't see any sane reason to take a questionable aircraft over Manhattan at low altitude.
Yoi ...... I'm hearing the smokey, haunting voice of Rod Serling.
