With all due respect to the families who lost loved ones on Flight 3407...the story is OLD NEWS for 99.9999 percent of the population. We do not need a second by second breakdown of the last 26 seconds of crew and passengers lives...for that matter, not sure that the families need that information spewed out onto the airwaves every 30 minutes for a 24 hour news cycle. We do not need all the finger pointing as two agencies and a private company try to place the blame on someone else other than themselves...no matter how you cut the mustard 49 people are dead in a tragic accident. End of story, stop beating a dead horse because you are too cheap as a network to go out and find another news story to fill up air space with.

Odd Twist of Fate-9/11 Widow Perishes In Flight 3407 Crash
In an odd twist of fate, 9/11 widow Beverly Eckert who had met with President Obama this past Friday was on board fated flight 3407 last night as it crashed into home in the suburb's of Buffalo last night. She was in route to Buffalo to celebrate what would have been her husband's 59th birthday. Life sometimes has a habit of giving us bitter irony and this one is about as cruel as they come.
Word on the news is suggesting that the cause more than likely was ice on the wings, though no one will say so officially. Whatever happened, the crew did not even get a chance to send out a MayDay before plunging to earth, taking the planes passengers to their explosive and fiery deaths. Was the FAA's policy on Auto Pilot use to blame? Would they admit it if it was?
