Flight 3407

Wow, nothing makes the thought of riding in a plane scarier than a commuter plane hitting a local house and everyone dying. Its the same type of plane we take all the time from NYC.

The news on TV is so super lame they just keep saying the same thing over and over. On youtube I found an interview with some local youths that were right at the scene.

I wonder if I will know anyone who was on the flight.

Here is another cell phone video of the fire.

On the news they said it really took out just one house. Imagine if your house was hit by a plane. One person in the house died.

Here is a pic from the story on wkbw

That link is the most comprehensive information I could find about the crash.

They also had a link to

and claimed this is a picture of the plane that crashed. I think I have been on that type of plane on the way home form every vacation I was ever on. Either from Detroit or from NYC. I think I will really have a hard time ever going on a plane again.

This is the house that is destroyed as per (e:tinypliny)'s link

Turbo props are far more likely to accumulate ice and crash than jets.

Safety-wise, I'd take a plane over my daily commute any day.

paul writes at 11:56:41 02/13/09 - Comment #45502: It must be all over the news everywhere, because my friend Yvonne in Flensburg just wrote to ask if I was okay after she heard about the crash.

janelle writes at 11:24:39 02/13/09 - Comment #45500: Turboprops have a slightly higher incidence of crashing in icy conditions than jets. Ice may have been the cause of this crash.

Drew thinks I'm crazy, but on my last trip home, I decided to stop flying turboprops. I know you can't protect yourself from everything, but I feel more secure flying when it's not a turbo prop.
