Yankees pitcher dies as plane hits NYC building

A small plane owned by New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle crashed into a 50-story condominium tower Wednesday on Manhattan's Upper East Side, raining flaming debris onto the sidewalks below and rattling New Yorkers' nerves five years after the Sept. 11 attack. Local affiliate WNBC reported four people had been killed.

Law enforcement officials said a member of the New York Yankees' organization was aboard the plane. The Associated Press and NBC News identified that person as Lidle.

The FBI and the Homeland Security Department said there was no evidence it was a terrorist attack. "The initial indication is that there is a terrible accident," Homeland Security spokesman Russ Knocke said. Nevertheless, fighter jets were sent aloft over U.S. cities as a precaution, the Pentagon said.

The twin-engine plane came through a hazy, cloudy sky and hit the 20th floor of The Belaire -- a red-brick tower overlooking the East River, about five miles from the World Trade Center -- with a loud bang, touching off a raging fire that cast a pillar of black smoke over the city and sent flames shooting from four windows on two adjoining floors.

I dont know if this is "diary-appropriate" but I was wondering if anyone here knows the phone number to call to get one of the big screens at dolphins stadium to say happy birthday? im going to a game during the next homestand for a friend's birthday and i wanted to put that up. also, does anyone know if they charge for that? and if they do, does anyone know the price?

So when i saw that Robert Andino is from Miami, I thought about looking him up in myspace. He isnt a big star yet so I figured he would have one. I was right.

you can tell its actually him based on the comments he has.

while looking through his comments i found the myspace of this guy http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=35263781

by his picture he plays for the Mudcats, but number 39 in the Mudcats is Kurt Koehler. according to his site though, his name is Mike. their is a pitcher in the mudcats with the name Michael Mcnutt, but they dont have enough info on him that i could for sure say thats him in the myspace.

anyone else know any other minor or even major leaguers that have real myspaces?

EDIT: i found logan kensing's site. looks like he doesnt like being in florida. (the state not the team)http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=32777035
