10. Damn, I just nearly had a heart attack.
I know so many people down here in NY/NJ and up there in Buffalo. But everyone who might be traveling is accounted for.

My nephew often picks up and flies back and forth to Buffalo without telling me in advance. He lives with me, but I haven't seen him all day. So I just called him to make sure he's still here in the city. Thankfully he is. That was my last concern. So I can breath now.

:cry:

Those poor people. Any word on what caused this yet?

Holy smokes I saw N200WQ at Albany today! It was parked at C1 and was going to operate a flight to EWR as CO3202 and was delayed be several hours.

The crew did an engine run up test on the right engine before the passengers boarded. One of the flight deck crew was outside the aircraft during the run up monitoring something. After the test was completed, the passengers boardly shortly and the aircraft pushed back from the gate.

I had my camera with me and thought about taking an overcast photo of the aircraft as I don't have a lot lot of Colgan Air in my collection. I didn't because of a power cart parked by the nose gear.

I can't believe I after seeing this aircraft that it crashed a few hours later...!

19. I don't know if this can help, but
(from CNN) "Officials said relatives of passengers aboard the flight should call 1-800-621-3263 for information."

I hope everyone's OK. :(
