The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
When iReporter Anthony Trigilio heard the Continental Airlines plane crash near his Clarence Center, New York, home late Thursday, he acted quickly. Trigilio grabbed his video camera and drove over to the scene, where he captured footage of the massive flames. He immediately uploaded his video to iReport.com and shared his story minutes afterward with CNN's Anderson Cooper. Trigilio described the chaotic scene of loud sirens, countless emergency responders and emotional onlookers. "All I saw was flames," he said. "It was just a big fireball."
I would like to pass along my heartfelt condolences to the families and also ask my publisher to send them a gratis copy of my book which may be helpful to them (I Wasn't Ready to Say Goodbye: Surviving, Coping and Healing After the Sudden Loss of a Loved One --- coauthored with Brook Noel). I'm not sure how to make the connection necessary to have that happen.
Please don't misconstrue this as a way of getting publicity, having lost a loved one suddenly, I can clearly relate to the shock and pain the families are experiencing and would like to help.
Sincerely, Pamela D. Blair, Ph.D.

I am a USS COLE WIDOW who met with Beverly on last Friday in the meeting with President Obama. I am very moved by the horrible news that someone I met for a moment has bonded with my spirit. We shared our stories and how we have coped since the lost of our husbands'. Now to learn that she is reunited with her love my heart goes out to her family and to all that knew Beverly. She really appeared to be a peaceful loving warm person and I'm glad I had a chance to meet her.
One of the hardest things anyone will ever have to do is tell their parent(s), especially a mother, that one of their children has died. My heart cries for Chris Kausen.(I had to tell my mother 20 years ago that my brother had died in a car crash 1500 miles away.)
Know that you and all the families who have lost a loved one in this Continental Airline tragedy are in the thoughts and prayers of so, so many people.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the families of flight 3407 may god be with u in this hard time

I want to express my sincere condolences to all the family and friends of the Buffalo plane crash. I also want to say I think it's perfectly fine to report on the crash, but I think it is incredibly irresponsible and insensitive to have this rabid interest in the private grief of these families. I understand some families want to tell everyone about their loved ones, but the questions some people ask them just makes me cringe. I just wish journalists would have a heart and be aware that some of their questions go beyond rude.
When ever any where in the world innocent people die either in an accident on roads,crash in air or killings by authorised or un authorised terrorism or wars the heart of a sensible peoples always weeps and prays to GOD that such trasdies should not happen.Because those who die are the beloved ones of many peoples and they are waiting them at home. This life is to live.So i pay my sincere condolences to the families and friends to all those who died anywhere in world. I also pray for GLOBAL PEACE AND HARMONY. THANK YOU
God bless them all. Hope posters realize family members might be reading.
