 WASHINGTON (AP) - New York Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle's plane crashed in New York because the pilot misjudged a narrow U-turn before veering into a Manhattan high-rise, federal investigators said Tuesday.
In presenting their findings, National Transportation Safety Board investigators said they still don't know whether Lidle or his flight instructor was piloting the plane at the time of the Oct. 11, 2006, crash. Both were killed.
Investigator Lorenda Ward told board members that the turn above the East River could have been made safely if the plane had begun the turn further east or banked harder in the turn.
