Wow, prayers for all those involved. The Buffalo News already has an article up. Apparently one of their photographers lives close by. Here is a link to the article and photos. http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/577959.html Crews were faced with an aircraft into a house with large amounts of fire. At this time 49 people are reported dead 44 passengers, 4 crew, and one in the home. The flight originated in Newark.

What's even more amazing is that the news didn't start talking about this for 45 min after it happened.

I looked online about midnight at a flight tracker web site and it showed the plane arrived at destination. I looked 1/2 hour later and they took that information off

Audio of the fire dispatch from Erie County Fire Wire. Three files, transmission starts with dispatch for Clarence Center and Clarence FD's.

Good audio. Very good job by the dispatchers they were very calm and proffessional the whole time.
