The death of a Yankees player whose small plane crashed into a high-rise Manhattan building has renewed concerns about New York's aviation security in a city still jittery after the Sept. 11 attacks. Several politicians on Thursday called for an overhaul of the safety rules regarding private aircraft flying near Manhattan after a plane owned by Cory Lidle, a pitcher for the New York Yankees baseball team, crashed into a residential building in an apparent accident.
