Here's a scenario: old pilot having trouble with landing gear, reaches back or down to manipulate some controls(some guy on CNN reports that with some landing gear problems it might require some type of manual operation, I have no idea if that is true or not), suffers a heart attack due to the stress and exertion.

That's possible put as plausible as the explanation given by Nixon's secretary on how the 18.5 minutes of tapes could have been accidently erased.

German magazine Spiegel is reporting that the pilot was 55, named Luigi Fasulo It also mentioned that the building was not on the route to the emergency landing strip. Nach Medienberichten soll der 55-jährige Pilot, Luigi Fasulo, technische Probleme gemeldet haben... Der Pilot, der allein in der Piper gesessen haben soll, soll angeblich beim Mailänder Flughafen eine Notlandung angemeldet haben. Da die normale Notlandebahn jedoch nicht zur Verfügung stand, soll ihm eine Landebahn Richtung Stadt zugewiesen worden sein. Das Gebäude liegt nicht auf der Flugroute. Nach Angaben des Flughafens soll der Pilot am späten Nachmittag auf seine Landeerlaubnis auf den Mailänder Flughafen Linate gewartet haben. Dann habe er plötzlich abgedreht, nachdem er bereits einen Notruf abgesetzt hatte.
