Re: OT: NY Yankees manager Joe Torre- The plane was reg. to Cory Lidle
Cory was flying the plane; he has passed away, obviously.
As a diehard Yankee fan, I'm quite broken up over this.
R.I.P. Cory. -

See these people below, they will be without him. There is a 6 year old boy that can't throw the ball around with his dad, get hugged and kissed by him goodnight. Melanie now has no one to help her raise her kids, have more kids and is instantly single. These are people's lives, sad but true.Originally posted by jp-era

"The whole plane has a parachute [that can be deployed in the event of emergency] on it," Lidle said. "Ninety-nine percent of pilots that go up never have engine failure, and the 1 percent that do usually land it. But if you're up in the air and something goes wrong, you pull that parachute, and the whole plane goes down slowly."
Wow, why didn't he just use the parachute?Comment

Hey man, you told your point of view. I respect it. Lets not rub it in here.Originally posted by Skooby
I was in the United States Coast Guard and was part of a plane crash recovery at sea. I remember VIVIDLY that day, everything I saw, smelled. I have seen a different part of reality than many of you every will.
Many basically checked out of there minds that day and found ways to make jokes so as to not try to deal with something they cant deal with. Does it give you sick sense of humor? maybe that day. Its a life changing event.
Theres specifics from that day including children that still bother me.
Lets not try to "instruct" each other on such matters. Lets just assume that each of us has experienced things in our lives that have changed us. Lets assume that none f us knows eachs others stories well enough to assume that any of us act out with a cold heart.
I respect all of you, yes every single one of you. Im only asking for a bit of understanding. I dont need to be shown tragedy, Ive lived it like many of you have.
My hearts in the right place, it was meant to be an harmless shot at the Yankees, not a shot at a father/husband who just perished.
