Dozens killed as plane crashes outside Buffalo

CLARENCE, New York - A commuter plane "basically dove" into a Buffalo-area house while coming in for a landing, sparking a fiery explosion that killed all 49 people on board and one person on the ground, an emergency official said Friday.

It was the first fatal crash of a commercial airliner in the United States in 2 1/2 years.

Witnesses heard the twin turboprop aircraft sputtering before it went down in light snow and fog around 10:20 p.m. Thursday. Flames silhouetted the shattered home after Continental Connection Flight 3407 plummeted into it around about five miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport.
"The whole sky was lit up orange," said Bob Dworak, who lives less than a mile from the crash site. "All the sudden, there was a big bang, and the house shook."

CNN said one of the deceased was a 9-11 widow.
 
Saw that on CNN this morning around 5am, widow was one of the people talking to her husband just before the South Tower came down. Eerrie stuff, especially if you buy into the Friday the 13th stuff, not saying I do, but makes you wonder.....:eek:
