I wonder if the pilot _would’ve_ made those fields (as I imagine he might’ve been judging by those google map shots) if the passengers odds wouldve been any better. I kinda doubt it though… ---

This is a terrible thing to happen. I work a little more then 2 miles away from this. Until just a few mins ago I could still see smoke coming from where the plane crashed. ---

It was the ice that did it right? If the ice did do it, they said when it forms it reshapes the wing. Making no way to fly. Friday the 13th has always sucked ☹ ---

ICE ON THE WINGS KILLS LIFT, AND I DOUBT IT WOULD BE SUDDEN ENOUGH TO INDUCE A STALL, BUT I’M JUST SPECULATING. ---

Top of the BBC news home page. Figures, within like a week Buffalo gets ranked one of the most miserable cities in the country and international attention for likely weather induced tragedy. I can hear our housing getting cheaper.
