In case anyone is wondering what a Buffalo crash is, it's the plane crash that just occured in Buffalo NY.

RIP..I hate when musicians fall from the sky like that....that's the main reason Bill Wyman quit the Stones.... he didn't like flying that much....

This is why you will never ever get me on a plane. It is either Amtrak, Via Rail, or Greyhound for me, no matter how great the distance.

Rabbi-Sol, you know those things crash too. The tradition is full of songs about train wrecks.

Yes, but train wrecks are more survivable than airplane crashes.

And I personally survived a bus crash in which there were 7 fatalitites.
