Ilana Benhuri filed court papers in early August suing Melanie Lidle and Stephanie Stanger (the widow of Lidle's flight instructor Tyler Stanger, who was also killed in the crash) for unspecified damages related to the 2006 crash that killed Yankee pitcher Cory Lidle and his flight instructor when the small airplane they were piloting flew into the side of a building on Manhattan's Upper East Side. 51-year-old Benhuri was badly burned during the incident, as the Cirrus aircraft crashed into the 30th floor at 524 E 72nd Sreet. Benhuri described the incident after she was released from the hospital, saying that the walls and windows "came just right into me and it threw me up in the air and threw me down in all the debris..." She also said that she was lucky to be alive.
Almost a year after the crash, Benhuri is returning from California and plans on moving back into her East Side home, which the New York Post reports is almost fully repaired. The amount she is seeking from Lidle and Stanger is not specified, but Benhuri spent a month in the hospital enduring several surgeries and skin grafts. Her husband Parviz Benhuri is also part of the lawsuit, looking to recover medical expenses incurred following the crash and to compensate him for not being able to have sex with his wife while she was recovering from her injuries. When she was released from the hospital, Benhuri said she also intended to sue the FAA.
Melanie Lidle previously stated that she intended to sue Cirrus, the manufacturer of the two-seater plane that her husband or Stanger was flying when it crashed into the building. FAA investigators were unable to determine who was piloting the plane at the time of the crash.

what are the chances that a balloon from the macy's day parade injures you—you win millions from macy's and the city and then a plane, a few years later, hits your apartment.
compensate him for not being able to have sex with his wife while she was recovering from her injuries
Middle-aged married couple probably has sex once a month. What's that worth?
Yeah. Not being able to have sex with your spouse. Why, that's as good as your spouse already being dead!
I would imagine that the suit is not against the two women per se, but against them as executors of their husbands' estates.
I highly doubt either estate has that much money. Lidle wasn't a big shot and the other guy was like a 24 year old flight instructor. What kind of estate does that guy have.
If the estates get settlements from the airplane manufacturer the estates will have plenty of money.
Hey, can I sue somebody too?
How can she sue the FAA? How are they at fault? And how can Lidle's widow sue the plane manufacturer? Reminds me of the retards that blamed Audi when they drove into their garages.
I know, I know... sue the news broadcasters also... they made money from advertisers... and sue the advertisers too!
A "Benhuri" suing? Surprise, surprise...
First she wanted to sue the FAA, then wanted to sue Cirrus, now she finally made up her mind to sue widows who had absolutely nothing to do with the plane crash. And the husband is worst, suing because you couldn't have sex with her, please! This is America, either pleasure yourself or go out and seek pleasure. You are a married couple, be creative. Both of them are going after widows for money, sad.
they really don't need the money... he's already got a sucessful medical practice... plus... what does the "Benhuri suing" comment mean?
I hope the judge whacks her upside the head with her filing when he throws this out of the courtroom.
"Both of them are going after widows for money, sad."
I think that about says it all.
Sorry for your suffering, Ms. Benhuri, but do you have to spread it?
I fuckin' plane hit her home! What fault does she have in that? Who gives a fuck if they are widows? Cory Lidle's money went to the widows. Sure they are in pain, but this woman got a PLANE IN HER APARTMENT! I'm sure if you idiots got a PLANE IN YOUR APARTMENT you wouldn't think to yourself "oh, those poor widows. I'll take care of my skin graft and the PLANE IN MY APARTMENT by my self."
