Airplane in NYC is a Cirrus SR20

I heard two "experts" commenting on the crash. One went on and on about how
airflow over the wing creates a vacuum which lifts the airplane, and if it
banked suddenly the vacuum would disappear. He did talk about Class B,
almost as though he knew what he was talking about. The second guy raged on
about how the plane was over the river but he knew that this was just an
accident waiting to happen and that all GA airplanes should file flight
plans.

A pilot correspondent at CNN said that (can't remember his name).

He busted Class B too.

What makes you say so? The crash site is abeam FDR Island, adjacent to
part of the East River VFR corridor. (Or do you just mean that he was
slightly inland at the moment of the crash?) And is it known yet if he
might have had a Class B clearance?

CNN is reporting that the pilot was a Yankee's pitcher: Lidle. He
apparently got his license only 7 months ago. Bragged about how safe
his
plane was. I have a feeling this is similar to JFK junior's case of not
knowing one's limitations.
