I read 49 passengers on a 50 seat plane. Sucks.

Also, it crashed into someone’s house.

from CNN, it said it was on route from Newark, NJ

multiple fatalities, one confirmed death on the ground.

it was a commuter jet, operated by Colgan Air.

48 aboard, capacity of 74.

I would suspect you won’t get a lot of affirmative responses to your question, Steve6.

I was just letting people know in case they weren’t watching the news and they wanted to know.

it’s all over CNN right now; they’ve already had a press conference. per Anderson Cooper, the plane is still on fire, 3 hours later.

as of 1:25am EST, NY State Police reporting all 48 aboard were killed. :(

it’s awful. they just said it was what 2 years with no fatalities, then the whole Hudson river thing – and everyone lives – and now this.

So is this pilot the anti-hero?

Will we celebrate him? I’m sure he did his best.

That’s a bit insensitive.
If you had been the one to tell them…that’s a shit way to do it.
