  • i remember waiking up seeing this on the news and then i looked out my window and saw the flames a few blocks away from my house

  • as somebody who lives in Buffalo i think it's almost manditory that you should have plenty of cold weather flying under your belt before you dare attempt flying here.

  • Did the firefighters wait for the fire to die down a bit before doing anything

  • with the fire, i believe they did because it was just too hot to attempt to put it out...they did, however spray down neighboring homes to prevent them from going up in flames as well and they did a great job containing the fire to only the crash site.

  • Comment removed

  • i have a friend that live right behind the struck of Continental 3407. Thank god he was not home!!!!! I also have more friends in the area. May the crew and passengers of Continental Connection rest in peace. Especially Rebecca Shaw. The co-pilot who took ac

  • ahh wow

  • even chuck manjones band members died. i live in cheektowaga it is a suberb of buffalo

  • has anyone notice there being a high number of plane crshes this year

  • yes there has been a high number of plane crashes...not all but alot of it goes to unexperienced pilots...they are not being given enogh airtime before they are on there own...pilots used to be know n as a luxury job...now it is compared to bus driving...no offense to any bus drivers out there...my father died in a crash in 92 and he was very experience...only takes one careless move...which is what happened to him :(

  • megc102408, you made an excellent point. Airline pilots should not be treated as airline drivers. That is the fatal mistake many airline companies are making. All they care about is if the candidate has enough flight hours and certificates.

    I know some people who went to crappy schools to build flight hours and since they were inadequately trained, got involved in accidents (density altitude conditions, shear/crosswinds, unintentional stall due to ignoring attitude indicator).

  • Planes have to be treated with respect since unlike vehicles on the ground, a plane RELIES on fluid (airflow).

    Some airline wisdoms pilots should remember:

    1) Never run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas at the same time.

    2) 3 most useless things in aviation: the altitude above you, runway behind you, fuel back at the airport.

    These 2 points lead to 95+ percent of crashes. Only the remaining <5 percent (or less) are caused by turbulent weather or mechanical failure.

  • airlines should always have a parachute

    tied to their aircrft so that in case of emergency the parachute pops out and lands the plane safely.Use a very big one

  • Might actually work

  • Wow, it is obvious you know nothing about airplane design, or engineering, or flight. for that matter.

  • there's no way it would have worked in this case, they were too close to the ground. Bottom line is this plane was being flown by an incompetent captain. They even recovered from the stalled condition once but the captain didn't advance the throttle to pick up some speed and make another go at the landing. Completely avoidable accident.

  • @alamdar4everyone A parachtue that is able to carry a plane? I don't think it would be possible.

  • wow

  • That was awful..Safety is important to airlines and I hope in the future planes do not break up and explode like they do today

  • THE ONLY CANANDIAN THAT PASSED AWAY IN THIS HORRIBLE CRASH WAS MY FRIENDS FATHER.

    this was very horrible. to my dear friend i hope u get through every thing

  • Such a horrible tragedy. Fifty souls gone in an instant. Young people, elderly people, a human rights activist, a cantor at a synagogue, a woman who was 7 months pregnant.

    May G-d comfort all of the mourners of Flight 3407.

  • man why cant they produce electric planes,why cant they build military like planes whre people are parachute-ejected before a crash,why are aiports in residential areas!!americunts need to wake up,thats why our aiports are 30 km away from residential areas!!!

  • One of my friends lives in one of the homes that they evacuated. I live about 8 miles away from there. Scary stuff.. RIP everyone who died.

  • i cant believe this happened. r.i.p. all souls.

  • scary

  • I hope the pilot loses his license over this... along with that woman pilot ... both should be suspended for atleast 10 years.

  • they're dead

  • to be saved by Jesus

    watch?v=9PMHRz3D0aM&feature=ch annel_page

  • I live about 30 mins away from this incident. My friend live 2 blocks away and my mom's cousin was on the plane.... his name was Johnny I think. Real tragic.

  • that really sucks dude.

  • i live about 3-5 mins from this and its really sad..a couple of my friends were the first responders and said they wish they never saw it or wish it never happend

  • My station didn't respond, but we were put on standby all night...we're about10 min. away...may they rest in peace  ~VFF WNY

  • i live in cheektowaga,ny and i was just going to bed when this happened but it was'nt on the news yet but i heard about it in the morning. tragic.......

  • The woman was young but she was the co-pilot. !!!!!?????

    Would ANYBODY of sound mind enter in the plane where WOMAN drives vehicle be it PLANE, SHIP, TRUCK, SUBMARINE, TANK!!!!???

    Are people so ignorant and uninformed not to know that PSYCHO-PHYSICALLY MAN and WOMAN are TWO DIFFERENT HUMAN BEINGS! Different brains, hormones, enzymes, anatomy, capability to encounter danger and not to panic etc etc... Political correctness is destroying AMERIQWA!!!

  • Umm it was a man who was the pilot so it was he call and hes fault you fuckin idiot! HE fucked up, and yeah Im a man and I would enter if a woman was flying. Its your arrogance that is ruining the world, get the fuck out of the 1800's!

  • thats muffed up..

  • should have aimed for the hudson

  • in buffalo there is no hudson

    and besides it was landing!

    10 miles out and it crashed

  • hahaha there is no hudson in buffalo!!!!!

  • Yeah, but you're an ignorant asshole. I would rather be weak and stupid(though I probably have a better education than you), than be a prick. Oh, and I'm done arguing with you. You're not worth my time. I have to go do research, that one day may save your life. This argument is taking away from such a tragic video. What has happened here in Buffalo is very tragic. I hope someday you learn how to be a human being. Good luck to you!

  • Youtube 'convenient buffalo plane crash' and also Google the name i mentioned

    not that hard

  • Of course, if it's on the internet it must be true.

  • That's a really messed up thing to say. If you were bleeding to death and the only person there was a female, would you forego her driving you to the hospital on the account that she was female, of course not!

  • Anyone else think this idiot got punched-out by a black woman? Its not black or white; women dont want to fuck you cause you're moron

  • after years of refusing bribes from the US federal government, 9/11 Activist Beverly Eckert was killed in this plane crash. Im just typing what i read

    RIP to her & other families who lost loved ones

  • Apparently my Aunts brother was on this flight.

  • so your dad or your uncle...

  • so your uncle?

  • this was incredible. my cousin actually shot this video with his cell phone. he was one of the first few people on the scene.

  • Only fools are falling for the ice theory. How in the hell do they have the gull to display perfectly untouched voice boxes, new looking too, when they claim that the ball of fire was 5 stories high. Give me a break! These boxes should at least be scorched and if it was ice then more planes were flying too shouldn't there be more plane crashes. Are the victims families going to really swallow this?

  • She was a very intelligent and beautiful woman with plenty of flight time hours. All of this demeaning speculation that the crash was solely her fault is insane. The captain was right by her side through it all. I'm sure they both desperately fought to regain control in a hopeless situation. Frequently mechanical failures result in an inevitable, unavoidable tragedy. Have some more respect for the dead, after all they no longer have the luxury of defending themselves.

  • The woman was young but she was the co-pilot.

  • Well that comment was so stupid is simply doesn't need a reply..it speaks for itself..I'm nominating you for employee of the month. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Well Johnie 'radical" (your are so radical) LOL, if your referring to nigger as a black person, I would hope so, since I am black. (and yes, I'm sure you will call me a nigger or have some racist reply, but I take no offense) And as to your second comment, please re-read and maybe you will understand that it makes no sense whatsoever. Also, I asked you for a job description, since you are promulgating your esteemed career as a youtube B board specialist.

  • omg! i just finished watching this video for the 3rd time, and its gets better each time i watch it! I never knew you could do stuff like that!

  • a man would not have wrecked this plane. a man would have fixed that plane with duct tape and vise grips. this is bullshit!

  • Yes, she was lacking that male survival instinct and thus, solely relying on her "female duck down" instincts. As usual the domino-effect leads to these types of end results.

    Yet, there are many instances, in which the mechanics fail and that's where nothing can be done...

  • lol

  • This is what happens when you let a stupid women fly.. GOD made women stupid for a reason.

    They can't even drive let alone fly..

  • only the copilot was a woman....

  • She was blowing the pilot..

    The only reason a women was in the COCKpit was because of afirmitive action.. The cooz should have been in the back, handing out penuts.

  • Wow..your so radical Johnie!!

  • forrestlyone.... Thats what your mom said when I pulled out..

  • Dude that's so sad, you posted your original idiotic comment about 4 hours ago and yet you instantly responded to my reply...which means that it's likely you have been waiting by your computer this whole time waiting for a reply to your "radical" comment. That makes you a loser troll.Plus..your reply to me was just plain lame. I'm done with you.

  • I work for youtube, on the B boards stupid ass.. I'll be here watching retards like you for another 3 hour's

    As stupid as you are, you must have been born through a whore.

  • LOL!!! JohnieRadical says "I work for youtube" I've heard that one before "radical' Johnie! That's rich. They must be really impressed with your fine work as an official comment poster on here.

  • I just told you faggot, I work on the B boards.. Do you even know what that is.

    There are 40 of us on the B boards and 45 on the A boards who work for youtbe.. God you're stupid, you must be female...

    I am impressed with how many inches you mom can take before she cries.. :)

  • No Johnie Radical...i don't know what the youtube B boards are...please educate me...in fact, tell us all what you do as an esteemed youtube employee working on the B boards..you must work hard and be proud of what you do. And alas, my Mom must be a lightweight, since she starts to cry taking your meager 3 inches.

  • Lesson learned: That means... that we now know that this particular plane is is likely to come down, when there's ice forming on its wings etc.

    Rest assured that little or nothing will be done about it to ensure the same won't ever happen again. Thus the only thing you personally can do about is, is to refuse flying in this propelled coffin... :(

  • Yes, the truth is when accidents like this happen...airlines are still much more concerned about profit margins than technical and mechanical upgrades which would help save lives. Overhauling planes with the latest and greatest conceived safety systems isn't worth protecting us. I'll keep driving thank you.

  • Comment removed

  • You are wrong. These planes were designed in Canada to fly in this weather.. This has been the ONLY fatal crash of Dash 8's. It is actually preferred by pilots to fly. The crash was simply pilot error. Have a nice day.

  • friday the 13th strikes again, my uncle died that that day too but in 2001

  • so this happend on friday the 13? cause next month ill be on a plane on friday the 13. im scared now.

  • d360, good luck with that. I hope you have a safe flight.

  • no it happened on Thursday the 12th at 1020 pm

  • Go to hell you piece of shit

  • God this, god that. Shit just happens. Sometimes it sucks. There's no little man in the sky directing everything.

    I think every person on every commercial flight should have an ejection seat with parachute. That way if a crash is inevitable, , everyone pops out, and most survive.

  • Has a cause been found for why it crashed ??? My condolences to the families of the people who died on this plane.

  • actually there was, 2 things , first the fact this plane was dropped in other countries cause apperently the SAS doesn't even trust the planes reliability, the plane had severe icing and the engines fought to stay active(the sputtering many people heard) as the de icing systems failed to remove the sleet....basicly a cheap plane + crappy weather with most likely lack of inspection..(the de icer's are simply rubber "tubes" thats inflate and deflate to break ice) ...i hope this helps..

  • Thankyou Phaloxxx, I appreciate you responding to my question about what caused the crash. I guess I get a little on edge when I hear of a plane crash nowadays. you'll never catch me in one.

  • Just like any other plane or car there are good ones and bad ones. this particular model is considered a very safe and reliable plane. The only issues with this model previously was with the landing gear. All planes were grounded until they were repaired. In short you can't say this an unsafe, unreliable plane because of one crash. My thoughts and prayers go out to all who died and their families.

  • yes, pretty much, the plane got too slow and didn't have enough air over the wings to sustain flight and they crashed...the airplane actually stalled once and recovered briefly where the pilot should have added power to the engine, but didn't and it continued to the ground at 120 mph or so.

  • from what i know, the plane didn't have a stall horn, and the yoke shook due to turbulence...instead of pitching down and increasing engine power, the pilot/copilot tried to pitch up worsening the stall...i am not a pilot (yet), but I learned aerodynamics and I know how to fly the flight sims. Even I know that the ONLY way to come out of a stall is to pitch down and increasing manifold pressure.

    Pitch controls airspeed, Throttle controls rate of descent/climb (not the other way round)...

  • dumbest shit i've ever heard...fucking faggot

  • It is really sad the nutcases have to come "out" of their closets over this. Shit happens and sadly people die. Not everything like this is some conspirarcy. Instead of using this as some political opportunity, we should be reaching out to our families and their families and just be real.....instead of thinking some sinster blot crap

  • yeah, over a densely populated area...brilliant. *rollseyes*

  • Investigators are looking for traces of Buffalo Wings in Engines.

  • I think sauce comes in Mild, Hot and Nuclear. Damn Terrorists have Nuke Buffalo Wings!

  • GASTRO, You are sick, twisted, warped. What, are you gonna say next that the plane shoulda crashed into Buffalo Wings Resteraunt and sauce covered everything?

  • Wow, have fun in hell. And if you don't believe in such place, there will be made a place just for you.

  • is that what you want done to you in the future too?

  • Karma

  • Obama did? Some secret government agnecy did it?

    Did you forget to take your meds again? Tell me, do you make your own tin foil hats or is there a website you can buy them online at a discount?

    Why do you asshats always show up at something like with the secret government agency or agenda stories? You guyss have been saying this since the 50's and we don't have those brain implants done yet.

  • No Bob, but I wonder if some tin foil from the CIA's snack lounge was used to rig de icing light to appear to be ON. And Tin foil would just melt so easy in a fire to cover their ass. So get out your tin foil hat Bob. maybe you will think clearer without those microwaves on brain.

    And in other Breaking News Reynolds Wrap Stock just went up 10 points......

  • WHY THE HELL ARE WE USING THIS TO HATCH CONSPIRACY THEORIES?! EVERYTHING IS NOT A F*CKING GOVERNMENT COVER-UP 50 PEOPLE JUST LOST THEIR LIVES IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT, AND YOU PEOPLE WANT TO SAY THAT "GOVERNMENT AGENTS" SCREWED WITH THE ICING LIGHT? STFU FEAR MONGERING A-HOLES

    p.s.: My condolences to the families of those that died in this horrible event.

  • STFU Nxtel68, you are part of the problem with your remote activated cell phone cams and mics so it shows you suck up to assholes who think spying on showering housewives is acceptable for National Insecurity. Was Ken Lays death covered up? we''l never know now will we. How about writer columist Gonzo (Fear and Loathing in Vegas) was his so called Suicide done by Kenny boys Coronor too? Both in Apsen. Now who would want a druggy dead besides a War On Drugs regime?

  • it kind of reminds me of in we are marshall

  • wow this "kills" the moment of being safe after the Hudson river incident...

  • they were saying it was too "hot to investigate"

  • sigh... such is life.

  • horrible...

  • Comment removed

  • Beverley Eckert who waived her compensation right to persue a Government investigation over the death of her Husband Sean Rooney into the 911 attacks. She set up the website 911voices to persue Government reforms and a FULL investigation into the Terror attacks of 911

    She said before the crash "Her silence could not be bought"

  • Goodfella, 3 GIs out of 7 that signed Anti War story in newspaper found themselves dead. 2 of them were seperate single car accidents. I would suspect "Some Agency" laid down a sheet of ice on a curve in road for them. How tough would it be to hotwire a de-icer switch light to read ON when its really Off on one side of plane? But wait, another plane just crashed in London today, with its landing gear failed? Not another switch rig?

  • That sucks

  • Comment removed

  • this is sad, i live in the area a ew miles away, i knew people on that flight, serious

  • Sorry.

  • I knew someone was going to say something about religion and miracles. God can't intervene on everything. I'm gonna sound heartless, but we can't live for ever.

  • u know hes making fun of religion right???

  • Yeah, you're right, 04ray. It was in God's divine plan that those 50 people would die a horrific and extremely painful death, causing immense emotional pain and suffering for their loved ones having to endure this tragedy. Yay God!

  • Your right about one thing. People die, thats what we do. Its the only thing thats guaranteed in life. But, why not just say, "things happen, some good, some bad". What does a deity have to do with any of it? Why do people point to a deity when they need to be consoled, or when they cant explain something? I dont see the connection. Or when something good happens, then its divine intervention, but when something bad happens, then we just have to accept it with faith. People are silly.

  • You don't understand punctuation. How could you possibly understand a deity?

  • ima sorry...  i will spel more gooder next tyme.

  • Google knew the plane that crashed in Buffalo was going to crash.. Go to a Youtube video posted by Google called "Google Latitude" that was posted on February 3'rd at at 50 seconds it says " I am happy my mother's plane landed safely in New Jersey since the weather was terrible." Sounds like an Omen to me or Google knew something in advance.

  • man this is just plain tragic. r.i.p. all of the souls and the innocent people on the plane. :'(

  • Beverly Eckert was a hero for 9/11 truth.

  • My Silence Cannot Be Bought

    I've chosen to go to court rather than accept a payoff from the 9/11 victims compensation fund. Instead, I want to know what went so wrong with our intelligence and security systems that a band of religious fanatics was able to turn four U.S passenger jets into an enemy force, attack our cities and kill 3,000 civilians with terrifying ease. I want to know why two 110-story skyscrapers collapsed in less than two hours. by Beverly Eckert

  • If Bush was still president he'd be blamed for this crash....now it's Obama's turn!

  • What why? How can any president be linked at all to a plane crash? 911 excluded.

  • Because the antagonizers make up rediculous things to spead to try to discredit the legitimate truth. They mix it all together so no one can tell whats true or not.

  • 2 plane crashes in less than a month in New york...

  • NLOL

  • may all of their souls rest in peace.

  • Comment removed

  • I belive you eternalrhythmflow. one of the biggest 911 supporters is now dead. how ironic..

  • Not a supporter...She was mad at Obama's dealings with accused and potential terrorists. Maybe too vocal for the new goverment.

  • man, why is newyork having so many plane crashes? ironic eh?

  • How is that ironic? It's tragic, but I see no irony.

  • well, i dont mean its funny ironic. i just think its like....well idk how to put it but sorry if i gave the wrong idea. it is tragedy and im not trying to say anything bad so once again sorry and i just didnt want anybody to think of the wrong idea

  • qoq u stupid fuker, obama didnt sabotage the plane. u idiot. stfu already.

  • I never said Obama sabotaged the plane. I said Beverly Eckert MET with him. But this is much bigger than Obama. You apparently still believe the left and right have different agendas. You are in for a big suprize, my friend.

  • Forget to take your meds again? Tell me, do you make your own tin foil hats or is there a website you can buy them online at a discount?

    Why do you asshats always show up at something like with the secret government agency or agenda stories? You guyss have been saying this since the 50's and we don't have those brain implants done yet.

  • Thank you for you comment, bobsimo. Now, what was it exactly that I said which bending you all out of shape? And try to use a respectful tone. As you should be aware, the person who has to resort to name calling is usually seen as insecure and ignorant of the facts. So let's talk, shall we?

  • this is 5 miles away from my house.

    i live less than a mile from the airport it was supposed to land.

    i cant believe this happened.

    god bless the victims and their families,

    RIP 3407.

    buffalo, we will pull through this together.

  • I feel for the families of the ones who died but hope that someone really looks into Continental's maintenance program, this is the second crash in two months for them, the first at DIA where the plane slid off the runway and burst into flames and now this.

    I know that the crash could have been weather related but I think someone seriously needs to look into this airline. I wish the families all the best in their time of grieving.

  • These videos should have comments disabled. There are to many people with no respect for themselves or anyone else, these people spend there days posting hateful, spiteful and horrendous comments in the face of such tragedy.

  • Life is like a flower. Very fragile. Each morning we wake up we receive the gift of life. I guess it's best to have a clean heart, to be ready at all times. We can do something. We can pray for the eternal rest of the victims souls, as they can't pray for themselves, and for the consolation of their families. We are all connected, and when one suffers, we all suffer. We are all one Body of Christ. God Bless you all

  • True

  • this is terrorist attack thanks hussian obomba

  • you are as dumb as they come.

  • obomba?  Moron-ba

  • I am with you...what does Obama have to do with this... Idiot!! God Bless the family whom lost their loved ones..for the grace of God go I!!

  • There are way too many crazy people in this country. Can't even be respectful in the face of such a tradegy. This is a horrible accident for every one involved. My prayers go out the families of all.

  • Portray, not betray

  • One day as sure as the rising sun YOU ARE GOING TO MEET YOUR MAKER.You be won't have this disrespectful attitude then you will bow your knees to your Creator

  • abigal, your people always have the same lame comment and always needs CAPS for some reason. Be careful when you die Allah might send you to hell to burn for not trusting in Mohammad.

  • You're right. You should be praying for an English teacher.

  • Funny, but I hope you prayed too.

  • OMG! I am crying right now. One of the victims lost her husband on 9/11

  • how could Obama let this happen

  • The same thing Bush had to do with Katrina. As a side note, Obama hates white people, as proven by his lack of aid to the people in Kentucky who are still without power following the ice storm recently.
