WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal safety investigators say the flight data recorder from last month's air crash near Buffalo, N.Y., doesn't reveal the plane had icing problems immediately before the crash. All 49 people aboard the plane and one man in the house died.
The National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday it is continuing to examine the Q400 Bombardier's deicing system and probe the flight crew's training.
Continental Connection Flight 3407 was about five miles short of the Buffalo Niagara International Airport flying in icing conditions the night of Feb. 12 when the plane tumbled wildly out of control and plummeted onto a house.
