Ahead of the Curve: Expressing Condolences, Fears on Twitter. Feb 13, 2009 11:52am As transportation officials investigate the cause of the plane crash near Buffalo, people in the area –- and around the world — are using Twitter to express their condolences, fears and reassurances. Since the first reports early this morning of Continental Express flight 3407’s fatal crash, “Buffalo” has become the fourth-most tweeted term on Twitter, according to trend-monitoring Web site TweetStats.com. Messages on Twitter have poured in from Buffalo area residents, emergency response organizations such as the Red Cross and concerned people all across the world. “Flight from Newark crashed into house in Buffalo.
Terrifying. Amanda122104 from Buffalo also used the service to express her concerns for those affected by the crash. "Plane crash happened about 20 minutes from where I live…very scary…praying for the families affected by the crash," she wrote. Even people closely impacted by the crash reached out to others with Twitter. By Ki Mae Heussner. U.S. Airways Flight 1549, Twitter and an Amazing Photo. First things first: Everyone on U.S. Airways flight 1549, which landed in the Hudson River this afternoon a few minutes after it took off from LaGuardia, appears to be safe.
Amazing. Second thing: I learned this via Twitter this afternoon, via fellow Twitterer Dave Martin, who was “re-tweeting” information he’d picked up via the Chicago CBS TV station’s Twitter account, which was passing along information it had received from CBS News. Similarly, I am learning, via Twitter, that this amazing picture from Twitterer Janis Krums, who posted it to Twitpic, is the “first” photo of the airplane in the water. No idea if that’s true–was someone monitoring all news outlets simultaneously before they reached this conclusion?
In the old days, this image might have taken hours or even days to make it to cable news–think of those terrible videos that people shot with their home cameras during the first few minutes of 9/11.
