That was an amazing group of people on that plane and Buffalo is such a tight-knit community.

Back when I worked in downtown Buffalo the heavy gusts would sweep in off the lake during winter. My office had guide ropes going out about 90 feet because the flyweight women kept on getting blown off the ground.

People adapted, however, and there had never been an accident like this in Buffalo, probably because the skill of the mechanics and controllers there.

My sister lives in Clarence but she was 15 minutes away from impact. The plane that landed in the Hudson flew right by my partner's building before it landed in the river. Life is so precious, and as our president pointed out, it's so fragile, too.
