Fiery Plane Crash in Upstate Kills 50 People
CLARENCE, N.Y. – A Continental commuter plane coming in for a
landing nose-dived into a house in suburban Buffalo, sparking a fiery
explosion that killed all 49 people aboard and a person in the home. It
was the nation's first fatal crash of a commercial airliner in 2 1/2
years.
Witnesses heard the twin turboprop aircraft sputtering before it went down in light snow and fog around 10:20 p.m. Thursday about five miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Continental Connection Flight
3407 from Newark, N.J., came in squarely through the roof of the house,
its tail section visible through flames shooting at least 50 feet high.

Did the authority find out the cause? I hope, it doesn't happen again.
