horrible :frowning:

Can you imagine just being in your house… ugh

I can’t believe 49 people died. So horrible…

edit: 50 now. RIP

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…

Yes

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.

shitty situation, only thing i can say is atleast it was one house and not a block of houses. terrible for all the families, which i wish the best to. this is about 4-5 miles from my house.

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 :frowning:

apparently one of the pilots was a lady

i was there. it was a mess.

there are some things i would like to “unsee.”

RIP flight 3407 and those on the ground.

Wow… I thought I was dreaming this all because the TV was on while I was snoozing…wow. :frowning:

screen shot from someones computer on another forum.

rip :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

i believe my buddy was working in the air traffic control tower lastnight… i don’t want to call and ask though. not yet.

LOTS OF WITNESS’S (RESIDENTS) REPORT ENGINES CUT OUT. ICE DOESN’T USUALLY DO THAT TO A TURBO PROP. IIRC. ICE ON THE WINGS KILLS LIFT, AND I DOUBT IT WOULD BE SUDDEN ENOUGH TO INDUCE A STALL, BUT I’M JUST SPECULATING.

RIP

X…

Holy hell… RIP :frowning:

This is terrible. Prayers to families, especially since they are still waiting official word.

not to mention it happened on the 12th…

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.
