12:05AM EST: INITIAL REPORT: An aircraft identified by Erie County Executive Chris Collins as a Continental Airlines flight crashed into a home near Buffalo, N.Y., Thursday night.
A local television report said the plane had as many as 50 passengers on board.
It was just after 10:20 p.m. when the plane, believed to be heading towards the Buffalo Niagara International Airport, crashed into the home on Long Street in Clarence Centre, a small community just northeast of Buffalo.
Neighbors said the plane - which appeared to be a small propeller plane - came in loudly and lower than normal, before it hit the house with a loud bang.
A woman and her daughter said to be living in the home made it out uninjured and were at a neighbour's house. A man also lived at the house, but it wasn't clear whether he was hurt or not.
Sources said 10 people were hurt, but it wasn't immediately clear if anyone died.
Collins said that there were 50 people aboard the plane and crew members had reported mechanical problems as they approached Buffalo Niagara International Airport. Several injured people were taken from the scene to Erie County Medical Center for treatment.
Further details will be posted at www.theyeshivaworld.com as soon as they are available.
