The news on TV keeps saying there were no injuries and everyone got out safely. Yeah.. watch the law suits that spring up tomorrow! Especially after that last announcement about Lidle NOT having been officially checked out for solo flying. What a mess! flying!

Lidle was flying with an instructor. Most of the injuries were minor. And most of those injured were firemen, according to local news reports here.

Has either the NYPD,NYME or FAA confirmed Lidle's death?

Don't bite my head off but I found it interesting that the NYPD found Lidle's passport. I don't carry my passport with me at all times. Call me crazy.

You're crazy. Some people carry passports.

Passport? If my true home was on one side of the country and I was working on the opposite - my passport would be something I would have with me for convenience. Each to his own.

I was wondering about that too. If it was on him looks like it should have been burnt. If it wasn't, well why the heck wasn't it?

I changed your made up headline back to the one at the source.

The first report I heard said that Lidle was the MALE occupant of the plane. Does that mean his instructor was a female?

I understand the need to carry a passport when one is outside of one's own country.

Yes, they've declared Lidle officially dead
on FoxNews. Alo, something about the construction
of that particular plane's welding; he would
have been incinerated almost immediately. I
heard that bit about a co-pilot, too, and also
the last minute SOS call. I also heard earlier
that none of the the people who lived on that
20th floor area were at home. And everyone in
the building got out safely. I still say there
will be "afterthought" injuries/emotional trauma
for which the lawyers will eagerly seek recompense!

I carry my passport for ID whenever I travel byair. It's much easier than digging ot my DL evrytime I have to show a picture ID. I do not think it at all strange for him to have carried it with him.

I don't carry mine. But I did use it recently to renew my driver's license because I couldn't find my birth certificate.
