Abstract: The model of aircraft that crashed outside Buffalo on Thursday night is widely regarded as the Cadillac of commuter planes: faster, more powerful and roomier than the puddle jumpers many travelers try to avoid. While the model of turboprop plane, the Bombardier Dash 8 Q400, has had a few problems, particularly with its landing gear, it had no record of fatalities. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
