Cdubyah Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Tragic. It was a turbo prop plane though, not a jet. Was the Husdon river landing a continental? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 According to CNN affiliate WGRZ-TV in Buffalo, one of the crash victims, Beverly Eckert, was the widow of 9/11 terror attack victim Sean Rooney, a Buffalo native. Eckert was traveling to Buffalo for a weekend celebration of what would have been her husband's 58th birthday.Now that sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 I lost a friend on that flight this morning. She was one of our trainers for our salesforce here, and was also an avid motorcyclist. Her and I had worked together often and shared a beer or two when we had the time. Broke my heart first thing this morning. Godspeed, Mary. You are missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks wolfman. To lose an entire plane's occupancy is simply nightmarish. My heart goes out to all of the other families as well. Just truly sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfman Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 True, but the odds have changed a lot lately.Or maybe they haven't and the quota has been met for the next several years.. This might be the safest time to fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RVTPilot Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Thanks amigos. Our whole campus is very sullen today, as you might imagine. So your thoughts and words here are very much appreciated much more than you can see. And to think that we here are 1/50th of the overall tragedy just humbles me. It give a somber perspective of life at large. Though I know that right now Mary would be telling us to get back after it and live for what's left, not for what's gone. Then again, that's what made her Mary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My their burdens be lightened.True, but the odds have changed a lot lately.Actually, since 1995 the aviation accidents and fatalities have shown a downward trend, even though flight hours and mileage flown have increased. Data can be seen on the NTSB website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
