There is a report of a Continental airliner crashing into a house in a Buffalo neighborhood in rainy weather. Residents of the home were reported to have escaped without injury. No word yet on the passengers or crew. Stay tuned folks.
Damn, this sucks. Just off the tails of the great Captain Sully triumph comes this.
Continental Connection flight 3407 crashed around 10:30PM Eastern Time. Reports say it was a Dash. En route from Newark to Buffalo. 48 people on board. 2 escaped on the ground with minor injuries.
crash in the town of clarence, ny. multiple fatalities, no confirmed number as of yet. at least two minor injuries, people not on plane. 44 passengers on plane, 4 crew members. at least one ground fatality from the crash into the house
Oh my gosh! I cannot believe this. And, yeah...right on the heels of Captain Sullys amazing Triumph. Lord, I pray that there are lives spared in this tragedy. I had to rewind the TV to be sure I heard correctly.
It's amazing to me that only one house on the ground was destroyed; evidently adjacent houses sustained only minor damage. That is pretty unusual for a plane that can carry almost 80 passengers. I've read reports that the plane was in a partial nose dive, so that may help explain the limited damage area.
