Thanks! I hope you're well also.
I just made a phone call, and the subway to Queens is running as usual. I don't know about the buses.
I guess aephialum covered the buses.

The best friend who has to take Kaplan classes and then go home to Queens afterwards will be sad to hear because this means that classes aren't cancelled.

According to CNN, the FBI found his passport on the street.
4 people are also presumed dead.
How sad for Cory Lidle, his family, and the Yankees organization.

You are halfway around the world and getting news faster than me. I am just a few blocks away.
This is so sad. RIP Cory Lidle.

It's because I took a sick day and am in bed watching CNN/Headline News. 
I can only imagine what the witnesses on the streets were thinking when this happened, before they found out info about who was flying the plane.

Apparently Lidle's wife has not been notified of what happened (the Mayor said that next of kin have not been notified). I cannot imagine how horrible it must be to hear something like that on the news (not that it would feel any better hearing it directly from the authorities).

I saw that too. I was surprised to hear that next of kin wasn't notified yet. He said that they were having trouble getting a hold of them, yes?
Now they say there were 2 passengers in the plane -- an instructor and the student-pilot, but as you said, their identities weren't revealed because of the next of kin issue.

I hope that you feel better.
On the news, many witnesses said that they thought it was another attack. I knew something huge was happening because I heard at least 30 different sirens in about 10 to 15 minutes. I haven't heard anything like that since that doctor blew up his townhouse this summer.
Surprisingly, there were no serious injuries on the ground or in the apartments when the plane crashed.

They have 4 confirmed deaths... 2 people were on the plane, and they had said that 2 people were on the ground/in the apartments.

When Lidle was traded to the Yankees, I heard from a couple of journalist contacts that he was an absolutely great guy, great family man, etc.
This is such sad news - my prayers are with all those who have been affected by this tragedy.
