A small Dash-8 prop plane, carrying 49 passengers as Continental Flight 3407, crashed six miles short of the Buffalo airport last night. The plane was en route from Newark, NJ. All 49 people on board and one person on the ground were killed.

The story says 49 died. They just updated that to 50 on the news this morning. This has kind of freaked me out - I'm flying into Buffalo today. Keep those families in your thoughts and prayers.
