He was flying with an instructor. It is written into every Yankee player's contract that if they fly a plane they have to be with an instructor ever since 1979 when Thurman Munson died in a similar plane crash.

Apparantly, it is believed that the plane ran out of gas due to the lack of a fuel fire that would have spilled down from the apartment building. Possibly the fuel gauge could have been broken or there was a fuel leak.

I *HIGHLY* doubt, that he (a mediocre pitcher) would have crashed the plane because the Yankees lost a playoff series. Watch, some moron will create a "Loose Change" type conspiracy crap video! If anything, someone could make a spoof on it.
