NY incident :-(

Was that his path? Did he come down the Hudson then turn left at the Harlem
river and decide to go down the east side of Manhattan?

Well. I *did* make an assumption there that he decided to shoot the corridor
before or shortly after he took off. That would be within sight of the Hudson
for the entire flight.

Rereading the article, it really isn't that clear. The article said he was coming
from the Poughkeepsie area, went through La Guardia airspace, and down the East
river. I suppose it's possible that he headed direct for Republic and decided to
detour down the East River after he got down close to LI Sound. That would bring
him through the class B near Spyten Dyvil. At that point, the class B goes to the
ground. That mistake would be much more understandable.
