Bombardier Plane Crashes into Buffalo Home, Kills 50

A Continental Airlines plane crashed in to a Buffalo, New York home late Thursday night killing all 49 on board and a man inside the home. 

Connection Flight 3407, a Bombardier Dash 8 Q400 made by Canadian-based Bombardier Inc, was en route from Newark, New Jersey to Buffalo when it crashed and burst into flames around 10:20 p.m.

A spokeswoman for the Federal Aviation Administration Laura Brown said the pilot sent no distress call before the plane, operated by Colgan Air, went down. “It just dropped off the radar,” she said.

A dozen houses were evacuated around the crash site. One man inside the home was killed. A woman and her daughter escaped with minor injuries.

The cause of the crash is being investigated. A joint investigation is being conducted by the State police, the Erie County Sheriff’s Office and the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority.

Authorities believe ice may have formed on the aircraft’s wings and played a part in the crash. Ice can disrupt the air flow over an airplane’s wings.
