one of the stranger parts of this story...

Yankee's plane crashed into home of woman once injured by Macy's parade float

NEW YORK A woman whose apartment was burned in the crash of a New York Yankees pitcher's plane was the victim of another high-profile Manhattan accident years earlier.

Relatives tell The New York Daily News that Kathleen Caronna and her family were not yet home when Cory Lidle's aircraft smashed into the building. The plane's engine landed in her bedroom, which went up in flames.

Caronna was critically injured during the 1997 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, when the Cat in the Hat balloon went out of control. The balloon knocked over part of a lamppost. The part then hit the investment analyst in the head. She lay in a coma for nearly a month.

Caronna's sister-in-law told the paper, "It's spooky. It's very spooky."
