Witness describes Manhattan disaster after former Jay dies in small plane

RobFitus Sherj Bolton Garth Simmonds

New Yorker Denise Sareyan was in the bedroom of her Manhattan condo when she heard a loud buzzing noise.

"Two seconds later I heard a very loud explosion which I thought was a very large

automobile accident. 1 looked out my window and there was this huge fireball," Sareyan said. She spoke to Hurnber Et Cetera in a phone interview forty minutes after a Cirrus SR20 plane piloted by former Jays pitcher Cory Lidle crashed into the Belaire condominiums across from Sareyan's 72nd Street building.

Lidle, a pitcher with the , is feared dead after the crash, accord- ing to CNN reports last night. Lidle pitched the 2003 season with the Blue Jays. He had a career mark of 82-72 with a lifetime ERA of 4.57 in nine major league seasons with the , Tampa Bay Devil Rays, , , Philadelphia and the New York Yankees. Blue Jays public relations director Will Hill told Et Ceterd last night, "It would be presumptuous to comment at this time." He said he would is-sue a team statement

last night, but it was not received before Et Cetera went to press. The crash comes less than a week after the New York Yankees were eliminated

from the post-season. Lidle pitched 1 1/3 innings, giving up three runs in the tinal game. Lidle was 12-10 this year with a 4.58 ERA. According to CNN, he received his pilot's license during last year's off-season. Reports from CNN said the plane hit the 50-storey Belaire Condominiums tower at 524 E. 72nd Street near the East river just before 2 p.m. yesterday afternoon. Sareyan said moments after the plane hit, black smoke was bil- lowing out of the building across the street from her apart- ment, but the charred smoke coming from the street below was more intense. "Then the apartment really started to take off," she said. In a matter of moments four to six apartments were completely consumed by fire. "It took seven to ten minutes before the fire people and what not got involved," Sareyan said. "|The fire- men] got -up there about fifteen minutes after (the plane hit]."

"Ours Is a world of nudear giants and ethical Infants" - Fonner U.S General Omar Bradle.

Can't we all just get along?

The age of the nudear super powers is here.

North Korea's recent announcement that it detonated a nuclear weapon underground has alarmed the world.

Its possession of this armament is opposed by many nations. But the real weapon it pos- sesses is fear.

On Aug. 6 1945, the world stood still in shock when the United States dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Three days after, the U.S. would obliterate Nagasaki with a plutomic bomb. The following day, Japan ceded. In an instant, the country experienced true horror - 200,000 people were wiped off the face of the earth. The enlistment of nuclear-inspired fear continued. During the Cold War, the proliferation of nukes was at the forefront of a power struggle between the two leading super powers, Russia and the United States. The threat of atomic weapons that could be used kept people frozen - controllable.

In 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the most notable event in the Cold War, is the closest the world has come to a nuclear strike. The terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and the anthrax scares that followed, continued to feed the fear machine. The United States unwarranted invasion of Iran in search of weapons of mass destruction outraged the world. Its decision to ignore U.N. policy, its empty-handed scavenger hunt and its imposing regime on a sovereign nation has caused the U.S. to acquire more enemies. George W. Bush can't be trusted to act in the better interests of all people when his motives seem only to serve his own place on the world stage. North Korea's threats are real. They have "the bomb" and say the continuation of U.S. pres- sure and bullying will be seen as an act of war.

North Korea is not the first country to test a nuclear weapon. It is, however, the third or fourth to do so without U.N. or U.S. approval. Nuclear weapons can do horrific things - Japan can atte.st to that - but the regular human beings that push the buttons to detonate them pose the true horror. Citizens are trapped in a world at the mercy of men who never stop flexing their national muscles.

Losing sight of the invisible poor ^s-^ Mayor David Miller raised an excellent point in a radio interview Oct. 10 on Flow 93.5. "There are a number of programs for people with no money at all but what about the peo- ple with just a little bit of money?" His statement raises the concern that poverty is no longer condemned to the homeless or the unemployed. Being poor means someone cannot meet the basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.

Governments vow to help in the city's poorest neighbourhoods but it's hard to notice any real change. Talk of poverty can conjure for some images of starving children in Africa and families in Word South America living inside three tin walls, but poverty is closer to home.
