Forty-nine people reportedly died when an aircraft identified as a Continental Airlines flight crashed into a house in Clarence Center shortly after 10 p.m. last night, starting a huge fire which poured thick smoke throughout the hamlet.
Unconfirmed reports from a source at Buffalo Niagara International Airport said that the dead included 44 passengers, four crew members and a person on the ground.
County Executive Chris Collins said that there may have been as many as 50 people aboard the plane and crew members had reported mechanical problems as they approached Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Several injured people were taken from the scene to Erie County Medical Center for treatment.
Television reports said the crash site was 6050 Long St., not far from the Clarence Center Fire Hall on Clarence Center Road. Police said that one man was in the residence at the time of the crash.

CNN is reporting it is a Continental. I don’t know if that is a brand or an airline. Saying it crashed into a house.

CORRECTION:
48 on board...
Can’t tell yet, but it’s either going to be EXPRESSJET, or Chautauqua.
Checking now.

Correcting myself...Continental Express flight 3407 (operated by Colgan Air) Bombardier Dash-8 Q400 twin turboprop commuter airliner. Crashed not far from the airport. Weather in Buffalo tonight is not very good.
