"I would like to start my Editorial thanking the Chair of USA National Transportation Safety Board Honorable Deborah Hersman for kindly allowing me to use parts of her Statement in the final report for the loss of control accident with Colgan Air.

On 12 February 2009, a Bombardier DHC-8-400, operated by Colgan Air as part of codeshare agreement with Continental Airlines, was on an ILS approach to the Buffalo-Niagara in night VMC when control was lost and the aircraft crashed and burned in a residential area approximately 5 nm from the runway killing all occupants and one additional person on the ground.
