Can you imagine the shock of having an airliner crash into your yard?

1. More raw videos by witnesses of the crash in Clarence Center.
Here's a link with more video footage materials by witnesses of the crash. That's a terrible news now, it's so sad nobody survived in the crash.. 49 people!! The whole plane gone, along with the person in the house that it crashed on. So many plane incidents recently, don't you think?? Is that just a rare coincidence (though I don't really believe in coincidences) or is it the bad weather or inappropriate maintenance of the aircraft? ..

6. Three crashes in three months for Continental....
.... At least we can't blame geese for last night's crash, or the 737 that ran off the runway and caught fire in Denver.

RIP to all involved.

5. I would like to know who told the pilot to fly at 2,300 feet, and why?
"No mayday call came from the pilot before the crash, according to a recording of air traffic control's radio messages captured by the Web site LiveATC.net. Neither the controller nor the pilot showed concern that anything was out of the ordinary as the airplane was asked to fly at 2,300 feet. Airport officials said the plane simply fell off the radar screen."http://www.rr.com/news/news/article/9001/6858161/Fiery_plane_crash_in_upstate_NY_kills_49_people

7. Flying at at two thousand three hundred feet is the standard
altitude to intercept the ILS localizer.

They were told to maintain two thousand three hundred feet until established on the glide slope.

Perfectly normal.
