Through the Roof What is going on? There have been two plane crashes that i have heard of lately and it is a little bit scary. It kind of makes me a bit scared to travel because of these plane crashes. We all know about the one that happened in the Hudson River in New York, but luckily everyone was safe. The new crash that recently happened was in a suburb of Buffalo, New York and crashed into a house on February 12th. There were only 49 people on the plane and all 49 of them happened to pass away with this tragic event. The news said that this was the nation's first deadly continental plane crash in 2 and a half years! How could this happen?
We know that the plane that landed in the Hudson River had birds that got stuck in the propeller, but this didn't happen this time, but there was still a crash, and this was also a Continental Commuter Plane. Ice buildup on the wings of the plane have caused horrible crashed before. Some other pilots that were not on that plane said that they were having trouble because they were seeing that ice was building up on the wings of the plane. No one knows exactly why the plane crash, but they are guessing that is has to do with the ice build up on the wings. One person who was in the house was unfortunately killed. The people who lived in the houses neat by got out safely with a few minor injuries.
What i found ironic when i was reading this article, was that one of the woman on the plane who died, her husband was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. Isn't that sad and ironic?
This is crazy and i am sure that many people are scared to fly again after all of these crashes. Do you think that the plane company who owns the plane that crashed is going to lose a lot of money and passengers because of this deadly accident?

That is scary and sad. I don't go on planes very much, but my sister is going to over spring break which makes me nervous. The plane company probably will lose money and passengers. Even though the crash was an accident, it will probably freak out a lot of people who normally fly with that company.
This is a horrible accident. I think it's terrible that a husband and wife were both killed in plane crashes. One being this recent event, and the other 9/11. Even if the plane company ends up loosing money it will not be able to replance they many important lives that were lost in this tragic event.
