Continental Plane Crashes, 49 Dead

This is bad, I have friends that live out there. No reports from them yet.
Possibly 50 reported dead now. One killed inside the house amazing two woman survived inside the house. Excellent live reports at the link from WBEN.com. This is the only radio station I listen to. Prayers for all.

Weather at the time was windy, possibly freezing rain, looks like icing was cause. The plane nose dived into the house. Chilling audio from tower to aircraft at link too. Very sad.
