Continential airlines crashes into suburban area

(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 said one person in the home was also killed. Two people in the home suffered minor injuries and were taken to a local hospital, authorities said.

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.

Dave Bissonette, the town's natural disaster services coordinator, said it was "clearly a direct hit."

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 question went out: Can other planes see anything? No one responds. The controller says they might have a plane down. The pilot's last comment was "Colgan Flight 3407." There were no sounds of distress.

The plane crashed about 10:20 p.m., in Clarence Center, New York. Authorities said the plane went down near a local fire hall, so firefighters were quick to respond to the accident scene.

Area resident Keith Burtis said he was driving to the store about a mile from the crash site when he heard the plane go down.

"It was a high-pitched sound," Burtis said. "It felt like a mini-earthquake."

Shortly after the crash, Burtis said he saw a steady stream of fire trucks rush by him as smoke billowed into the sky. Other witnesses told CNN they saw the plane nose-dive toward the ground.

According to the Buffalo News newspaper, 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.

She also had planned to take part in presentation of a scholarship award at Canisius High School that she established in honor of her late husband, the newspaper reported.

Her sister, Sue Bourque, said that while the family had not yet received official confirmation of her sister's fate, the reality was settling in. "We know she was on that plane," Bourque told the newspaper, "and now she's with him."

Bret Ravenhill, 29, who lost his limb in a motorbike crash six years ago, said a security worker failed to spot his left leg was made of metal and detachable.

The forklift driver, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, said the woman who came to fit the tag on his leg failed to notice his disability.

He told The Sun: "I thought she would realise straight away - but she never bothered to turn up my trouser leg or look underneath my sock. I just left things as they were for a joke.

"I didn't break my curfew once - but I could have been out living it up every night. I'm no danger to the public - but what if they'd done the same thing to an armed robber?" he told the paper.

A spokeswoman for G4S said: "We conduct our monitoring operation under rigorous procedures which include carrying out an assessment of the leg that is being tagged.

"It would appear that in this instance the procedure has not been followed and we are conducting a thorough investigation into the matter now that it has been brought to our attention."

Man becomes dad at 13

Alfie Patten, 13, and his girlfriend Chantelle Steadman, 15, decided to keep Maisie who was conceived after one night of unprotected sex.
Alfie, who is just 4ft tall, hasn't yet hit puberty and was 12 when the baby was conceived, said: "When my mum found out, I thought I was going to get in trouble. We wanted to have the baby but were worried about how people would react.
"I didn't know what it would be like to be a dad. I will be good though, and care for it," he told The Sun newspaper.

His daughter Maise Roxanne was born four days ago and weighed 7lb 3oz. The couple are from in Eastbourne, East Sussex.

Chantelle, the baby's mother, said last night: "I’m tired after the birth. I was nervous after going into labour but otherwise I was quite excited.

“Me and Alfie went. The doctor asked me whether we had sex. I said yes and he said I should do a pregnancy test. He did the test and said I was pregnant. I started crying and didn’t know what to do."

They found out 12 weeks into the pregnancy but hid it from their parents for a further six weeks until Chantelle's mother, Penny, 38, became suspicious when her daughter started gaining weight and confronted her about it.

“[Alfie] said I should tell my mum but I was too scared," Chantelle said.

“We didn’t think we would need help from our parents. You don’t really think about that when you find out you are pregnant. You just think your parents will kill you.”

Denny Patten, Alfie's father, said his son does not really understand the gravity of the situation - but seemed to want to be a good father.

I hope the thirteen year old boy asks for a DNA test on his child. I've seen a photo of him and he looks like he's ten years old!

And RIP to those who died in the plane crash. It would have been pretty scary... :-(
 
i feel so sorry for the plane crashs victims families and that is weird that a 13 year old kid has become a father
 
That plane crash sounds just horrible.

And that kid! The age when kids start becoming parents just keeps getting lower and lower.
 
Damn...that crash sounds horrifying. That story about the woman going there to commemorate her husband...well, that reporter was right: at least they're together now.

Wait a minute...if that kid hasn't even hit puberty yet, how the hell was he able to conceive a child?! Maybe, being a female, I just have a general lack of understanding about how male puberty works, but doesn't puberty in general signify the transition from child to adult -- in a biological sense, the transition from being unable to reproduce to being able to do so?
 
Yikes, a story about everyone surviving a plane crash immediately followed by about fifty people dying in a plane crash. Awful. :/
 
...becoming a father at 13.

Come on, man, is it that necessary to get laid ASAP? You were fucking TWELVE. TWELVE.





TWELVE.




TWELVE.

Also, a tracking device and house arrest for having pot? What the hell is that, seriously?
 
That kid is a fucking idiot. All he's done is bring pain to himself and his equally stupid girlfriend.

And that plane crash is just awful. As for the fake leg guy, meh. Idiots.
 
Wow. I can't believe that accidents like these still happen, even when such cases were commonplace 10-30 years ago. I thought the crash-landing on the Hudson River was just a continuation of how aircraft safety was improving. This is just a dark reminder that problems like these still occur if we're not careful. R.I.P. to this terrible tragedy.

How come all this is happening in New York? That's what scares me.

Yeah, that's what surprised me too. Even if they are able to get something out, the sperm are well stupid. Its surprising that a prepubescent child impregnated someone on his first time ._.
 
That's nothing, I remember hearing about a 5-year-old girl who got knocked up. It's true I tell you, if they took the time to put it in a supermarket tabloid, it must be!
 
I actually live a mile and a half from where the plane crashed. Not kidding.
 
Okay, he must have hit puberty for 2 reasons
1. HE HAD ENOUGH SPERM TO SWIM UP HER VAGINA AND PIERCE HER OVULE (and being 12 at the time, that's gonna be a long swim)
2. Even i had hit puberty by 11 so......me thinks there's been a mistako
