New York Plane Crash

[Jordy]

49 people dead as plane crashes just outside New York (Buffalo).

No survivors on the plane and it came down in a residential area meaning minor injuries on the ground I believe.

News sites don't seem to be saying too much atm but it must of come down around 1AM local time.

There not sure about injuries on the ground, it his a house apparently so it could of killed people inside.

This Commercial Crash is the only one since 2006 in the US :'(Surely the Hudson counts as a Commercial Crash though?

Very good aviation record has been ruined within weeks.

That was very very minor though, there could of been carnage but because the pilot brought it down safely it was averted. A plane heading into a residential area is a crash and can't really be averted :P I'm guessing it goes by damage and injuries/death.

NTSB said the killer may have been ice build up on the wings and windscreen.
It also tells us that the pilots complained about low visability from snow and mist.


The plane was reported to have nose-dived into the building but investigators now say the plane landed flat and facing in the opposite direction to the airport where it had been cleared to land.
