A wonderful man just died in a plane crash....

terrier3 — Fri, 05 Sep 2014 20:10:26 GMT

I had a number of business appointments today and in between calls, I kept hearing on XM Radio about a plane from Rochester that was flying as a "ghost plane." I had a very strange premonition it was someone I knew, when they said the plane was supposed to be headed for Naples.

It turned out to be a former client, a wonderful human being and Rochester NYs biggest developer and booster, Larry Glazer. His wife was the only other person on board.

So sad...

How sad. I was watching the whole thing transpiring on CNN for the past hour. They indicated it was a new plane. Wonder what happened.

What qualifies an aircraft as a ""ghost plane""? I have never heard of this term.

To everybody in Rochester or the area!

He owned the downtown mall (which he was developing), the Xerox Building, the Bausch & Lomb Building, an office complex where we worked...just about all the large properties. His wife had a catalogue/online business.

I think they knew for quite a while it was Larry & Jane, but they waited until the plane was down before announcing the people on board.

He was very involved in revitalizing upstate NY.

Lost radio contact with the pilot. Could not get him to respond to calls.

Remember when Payne Stewart's (the golfer) plane flew for miles after everyone was unconscious? The cabin lost pressure, everyone was unconscious and the plane continued flying on auto-pilot until it ran put of fuel & crashed. Fighter jets flew alongside & saw the pilot was slumped over the controls and unresponsive.

I had MSNBC on XM in the car and every time I got in the car to drive, they were talking about the location of the plane. It finally ran out of fuel & went down near Jamaica. His son must have been beside himself hearing the flight of the plane.

Plus the F-15 pilots that flew along side the plane said the windows were frosted up. thus the term ""ghost plane"". This is the same thing that happened to Payne Stewart's plane a few years ago. Very sad.

Is this the plane they kept talking about? I kept seeing a crawler on CNBC that said there was a plane with an unconscious and slumped over pilot and an F-15 jet was following it. But then it said the plane hit Cuban air space and they had to stop following.

I saw that too. Later I wasn't paying attention but heard something about a plane running out of fuel near Jamaica.

The plane crashed in the ocean about 20 miles off the Jamaican coastline.

So sorry about this Terrier

I missed that. The sound isn't up on the tv in the office so I saw the crawler then they went to something else and I never saw another thing about the plane.

Very sad.

These "ghost" planes give me the chills. What a sad story, terrier. It sounds like the pilot knew he had a problem at one point but said he didn't need assistance. That was the last communication.
