I'm surprised no one posted this yet, plane crashes into home in buffalo, NY

I live in tonawanda, NY, very very very close to buffalo, less than 13 miles away. it actually crashed in Clearance.

You're pretty wrong. Recent reports say that the deicing stuff on the plane failed to function.

I'm sorry, do you have a commercial pilots license?

Agreed. It wasnt the pilots fault.

Well, we don't know that for sure yet, and speculating isn't going to get anywhere. Wait and see the official account when it comes.

I heard that the weather was too bad for them to be using Auto-Pilot...... yet they did anyway.

That screams pilot error.... but I'll wait for the official word.

From what I've been seeing, it isn't pure pilot error. The cockpit voice recorder did record them saying something about heavy ice buildup.

Specifically mentioned in this article. A search of USA Today for the flight, with articles about it.
