A 68-year-old man who almost accompanied Cory Lidle on his fatal flight in New York City last month died in a plane crash in California on Tuesday.

According to the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin, Bob Cartwright, whose friend and personal pilot died in the plane crash that also killed the New York Yankees pitcher, and two other men died when their private plane crashed into the shoreline of Big Bear Lake, near Cartwright's mountain home in Sugarloaf, Calif.

Last month Cartwright's friend, Tyler Stanger, invited him to a playoff game between the Yankees and Detroit Tigers, but Cartwright couldn't make it. Lidle and Stanger died Oct. 11 when their plane crashed into an apartment building in New York City.


"I was supposed to be on that plane," Cartwright told friends at the time, according to the Daily Bulletin.

They say cars are not as safe as aircraft , although most car accidents you will walk away from. 99.9 % of aircraft crashes you will die !

When I drill I never spill
even if shes in the pill
I keep my weapon covered, concealed
and in a shield.

They say cars are not as safe as aircraft , although most car accidents you will walk away from. 99.9 % of aircraft crashes you will die !

So what exactly are you saying? Are you doubting that aircraft are safer than cars? Because if you are doing that, than your argument makes no sence. It is true that you are more likely to walk away from a cars crash rather than from an airplane crash, but no one has ever said that. All they have been saying is that there is a higher risk of being in a fatal car crash than being in a fatal airplane crash. It is just comparing the amount of people that die from a car crash to the amount of people that die from an airplane crash in a certain region. It is simple and it will show you that there are more people dieing from car crashes in the US per year than there are from plane crashes. If you would just compare the amount of crashes of cars versus airplanes you would will come up with even a bigger difference, because when that plane hit the ground I can assure you that there was more than 10 cars crashing at that very same second somewhere else in the world. Yet there was only one plane that came down.
