Police said that there were only crew members aboard the plane and they had reported mechanical problems as they approached Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

22

this is crazy, they are now saying 50-60 passengers.

23

my Aunt lives right on Clarence center road. im pretty sure she gotten woken up by the crash.

Hope so.

25

Call her up and make sure she is ok.

26

If she lives on Clarence Center, she’s fine.

They said it crashed around 10:20 and it was a Continental flight. The strange thing is when you go to the Buffalo Airports web site and look at arrivals all the Continental flights show landed.

I’m going to say it’s Continental Flight 2305 because it’s the only one that makes sense even though it says landed…

Really unfortunate, I hope there weren’t many people on board and no one in the house :tdown:

29

she does, but shes kinda far down on clarence center road, if i recall the shop is way down, idk, i love in cheektowaga, i only how to get to her house and coldstone lmao

30

I’m wondering if they took it down.

31

oh man, it’s coming to Buffalo from Newark, NJ…

32

I was thinking the same thing, but what would be the chances of two Continental flights coming in about the same time?

33

supposed to be one person in the house

34

The first thing that crossed my mind when I heard it was a private plane is that the Senators play in Buffalo tomorrow, and probably flew in a bit earlier. As much as I hate the Sens, that would have been devastating.

Edit- Sharks, not sens.

35

hopefully everyones ok. Im really glad that im not at my buddies house up that way.

36

My brother just called and woke me up. Holy sh*t!

Where are the Clarance peeps at?

37

Confirmed that it was the flight from Newark, NJ.

38

from pictures on tv, it looks like it was this house
