Buffalo has a lot of suburbs that are "near the airport" Here's a map to give you an idea of locations. the locations I've indicated are rough as my art program here at home isn't the best but it should help with giving ideas
clarence center is a bit closer to the airport but still. It's probably the 5 miles (as the news says) as a plane flies but it's not right next to the airport.
gotcha. You have an excellent point of "5 miles as a plane fly" I'm sorry for the families affected. Glad to that the friends in the city/area are safe.
Thank you so much for posting that map with pointy-thingies. I of course was immediately worried when I heard about the crash, and was only mildly relieved when I didn't recognize the town name where the unfortunate incident occurred. I am glad all of you are unaffected, and I feel horrible for the victims of the flight and in the neighborhood.
