that the existence of this particular VFR corridor border at this
particular spot may have been a determining factor. Maybe Lidle was a
crash waiting to happen, but his rendevous with this exact building on

should not be seams in VFR corridors obliging pilots to negotiate
high-skill turns over ultra-populated ground?


There are various types of aircraft that can navigate the East River corridor
without difficulty, even some smaller, slower planes. It's the responsibility
of the pilot to make sure
