According to swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, atleast 4 people has died (pilot, passenger and two persons in the building).

22.10 swedish time (I belive we're GMT +1) the fire in the building is said to be under controll and put out.

As Matt pointed out, FBI denies any terror-thread.

The plane is supposedly a single-enginge airplane (ie, Cessna)

Wierd stuff

Maybe not funny, but how does a two seater lose engine power and enough controls to bank dive into an appartment complex? I mean s***, what happened, a bomb went off?

I guess we'll find out from the investigation.

EDIT: I expectthe reason to be a controls failure, and engine was probably cut to slow descent/bank. Otherwise the pilot was a complete ass.

Even weirder is that he plane is equipes with a parachute system designed to save the airframe and passengers in the event of mechanical or control failure. Safety features also include loads of warning systems.

I'd say that something pretty major happened in that cockpit, in terms of failure, if Lidle had no time to engage any contingency features.

I thought he was making a joke.wtf ?

cuz I heard that NY pitchers are bad, so i thought it was a joke, you know like he can't throw a ball, means his aim is poor so his aim in landing the plane . .well, u get it. sorry.

I read to think "yankees pitcher", now I aint American and have no idea about baseball but I am guessing... its because he is a Yankee pitcher, that was the joke, not that people died. wink_o.gif
