From the radar track available he
http://ntsb.gov/Pressrel/2006/N929CD...rn_3radars.pdf it would
seem that flying up the corridor when there's a cross wind isn't very
smart. When they entered the corridor, the die was cast baring
climbing above the roof tops, entering Bravo airspace, or executing a
chandelle type course reversal (or ditching).

Did they ever mention what was the height of the building that they "became
one with"? Was it possible to overfly the building without busting the
Class-B? Turn off the Mode-C, go a bit above the Class-B, drop back down
and turn back on the Mode-C... At the very worst, bust the Class-B for a
second, drop back down, and hope no one notices... Even if they do, they
have to get your tail number... Take the "scenic route" home, stopping at
various airports along the way to confuse any tracking that they might do of
your aircraft... No matter what you do, it's got to be better than turning
your new fiberglass aircraft into a pile of shards...
