49 people are now dead following a passenger plane crash in Buffalo, New York.
The Continental Connection flight 3407 was said to be five minutes from the Buffalo airport when it crashed into a house in the residential community.
Officials said there were no survivors from among the 44 passengers and four crew on board the flight from Newark.
One person on the ground also died.
Its not clear what caused the crash.
However there was reported to be light snow and fog at the time.
US media said a recording of Buffalo\'s air traffic control before the crash showed no concerns by either the controller or the pilot.
An investigation into the accident is expected to begin later this afternoon when the site has sufficiently cooled down.
