Lofter1, I don't like to, and I wish that these things didn't ever happen, but how many senseless and tragic disasters in NY have we heard about since the Day the Giants fell?

I don't know. How many? Have a list?

The two major ones come to mind. Flight 587 Nov 2001. Crashes in Rockaway after takeoff. Vertical stabilizer problem. Flight 1549 Jan 2009. Bird strike after takeoff, engine failure, ditches in Hudson, no fatalities (a disaster?).

The other one involving VFR airspace I remember is the 4-seater that crashed into the East Side apartment building in 2006, killing Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle.
