Nicole Korczykowski, '01 Wharton and College alumna, is listed among those killed in the Continental Flight 3407 crash near Buffalo, N.Y., this past Thursday.
The commuter airplane was carrying 49 people en route from Newark, N.J., to Buffalo.
The plane crashed into a home in Clarence Center, N.Y., about six miles north of the Buffalo airport, at about 10:20 p.m. Thursday night.
The plane burst into flames on impact, killing everyone on the plane and a man inside the home.
Those killed also included a Sept. 11 widow, Beverly Eckert.
Officials hypothesized that the significant ice buildup on the wings and windshield of the plane was the cause of the crash but stressed that nothing has been ruled out.
It was the nation's first deadly crash of a commercial airliner since Aug. 27, 2006, when 49 people were killed after a Comair jetliner mistakenly took off from a Lexington, K.Y., runway that was too short, according to an Associated Press article.
