Of couse this ignores the fact that there already are no corridors over NYC
where GA can fly w/out being in contact w/ATC.

Not true. There are VFR corridors up both the Hudson and the East
Rivers in New York CIty. The Cirrus was in the East River VFR corridor,
near the dead end prior to LaGuardia airspace, where
they would have to
turn around.

if you initiate the left U-turn over Roosevelt Island , and won't be
very agressive from the very beginning...you will end up at east 72nd
Street. And you bet, the last seconds you will fly very erratically.
It's a narrow place.
