A Continental employee talks to a police officer at the counter at the Buffalo International Airport, early February 13, 2009. Forty nine people were killed when a passenger plane crashed into a house 10 miles (16 km) from Buffalo, New York, airport and burst into a ball of flames late on Thursday, officials said. The plane, a Continental Connection flight operated by Colgan Air, was on a flight from Newark, New Jersey, to Buffalo with 44 passengers and four crew on board when it crashed in the Buffalo suburb of Clarence Center amid rain and sleet, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said.
