Actually I belive they found Lidel's passport at the scene and that led the media to uncover it was him first. I'm not sure they knew the identity of the flight instructor, or even if there was a flight instructor until much later.
But the fact that he's a MLB player is going to get top billing, it's what people want to hear about

Come on Spence...is it dark where your head is? The media could have found out the identity of the "other person" with not too much touble if they cared enough to report his name....the Yankees, classless organization that they are issue a statement that their prayers go out to the family of Corey Lidle.....you think they could have at least put an aside in there that their prayers also go out to the family of the "other person" who lost their life!

Did you ever think that perhaps the poor SOB's family simply didn't want his name spread across 24/7 cable news?

I have not thought of that Spence, you might be right.
If my memory serves me right, in these events it's the big name and then others.
It wouldn't be to difficult to find the instuctors name, and IMHO it is more respectful for the press to dignify him with his name and not his occupation.

It is dark huh Spence....its not up to the family whether or not his name is released......if the media has the name they have the right to release it. Lets see if there is even a whisper of his name by the 6:00 news?

Doesn't mean they couldn't request it. The notion that the family hadn't been notified seems the most likely.
Regardless, there are a lot of possibilities that don't lead to an uncaring media deserving of a silly rant

My apologies for sounding harsh Spence....it just frustrates me that the ordinary Joe gets barely recognized of his tragic passing while the "famed" (barely anyone knew his name before yesterday) Yankee picher or more to the point, someone who is "a name" gets his name splashed about the headlines for a week solid as the media beats the story senseless!!! Again.....its a rich/famous mans world!
