Don't tell me you guys havent heard about it, I had'nt seen a post for it so here goes nothin. Thursday a Dash 8 plane crashed into a house in Clarence center, NY ( about 10-20 miles from where i live) killing 50 people. including the wife of a victim of 9/11
originally CNN reported that it was due to mechanical failure but there was no evidence of such in a recording taken of the conversation between the flight and air traffic control. 1 man on the ground was killed but his wife and daughter managed to escape with non-life threatening injuries.

The news I read said that the plane was on auto-pilot when it crashed.

it was a grave day in buffalo. i finished watching amovie, flipped to tv mode and bam, there was news about the crash. i watched it until 12:30am. i looked out the window from my place in the general direction of the crash from my viewpoint. i saw a pillar of black smoke rising, like what you'd see from some of those old world war footage clips of a burning tank.

really awful to see and then know...
