Hometown News: Flight 3407 News Summary

Church bells tolled for the victims of Flight 3407 last night, one week to the minute when the plane.

Governor David Paterson is ordering flags around the state to fly at half-staff on Monday in honor of the victims of 3407.

Four trailers hauled off the last pieces of Flight 3407 yesterday afternoon. Pieces of the plane, including a dismantled tail, destroyed landing gear, and burned and shredded fuselage, are on their way to "an undisclosed secure location." Heavy construction equipment, including a backhoe, lifted bucket after bucket of debris into dump trucks. A garage was left standing near the destroyed home, but that too, will be torn down and taken away in pieces. A neighboring home has also been flagged for demolition.

Families will begin returning to their homes around the crash site. The Wielinski family has stated through a representative that it does not want another home built on the Long Street site. Clarence Town Supervisor Scott Bylewski has met with the Wielinskis and says it's not clear what, if anything, the family would like to see built on the site.
