(CNN)  -- A Continental Airlines plane crashed into a home near Buffalo, New York, late Thursday, killing 44 passengers and four crew members on board, according to New York State police.

Authorities also said one person on the ground was killed. It is not yet known whether that person was in the home at the time of the crash.

Continental Connection Flight 3407, operated by Colgan Air, was en route from Newark, New Jersey, when it went down, said Bill Peat with New York State Emergency Management in Albany. The crash occurred about seven miles from Buffalo Niagara International Airport.

The first sign of trouble was when Flight 3407 went off the radar.

CNN has listened to a tape of communications between air traffic control and the flight crew. The first officer had no sign of stress in her voice initially. The plane was cleared for approach. About two minutes later, the air traffic controller came back, with stress in his voice. Radar contact was lost.

The plane crashed about 10:20 p.m., hitting a Clarence Center, New York, home.

it's a bombardier plane...

and

The Buffalo airport is a popular destination for Canadians. It is estimated that about 50 per cent of the passengers flying out of Buffalo are Canadians using the U.S. departure point to get cheaper airfares; flights to U.S. destinations are typically $100 cheaper out of Buffalo than Toronto.

so it's like seattle or bellingham for us?

都算好彩唔係直接撞入民居喇, 否則仲死得多人.
