"In February 2009, Continental Connection Flight 3407 crashed outside Buffalo, NY, killing 50 people \u2014 everyone onboard and one person on the ground. The investigation that ensued revealed glaring safety gaps in the regional airlines system. Spurred on by the revelations, the families of those who had died formed the Families of Flight 3407 in order to lobby lawmakers to improve pilot training, FAA oversight, rules on fatigue, and more. Their tireless efforts paid off in July, when Congress passed the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010, which President Obama signed into law on August 1st. Now, the FAA must follow through on key provisions to make sure the law&amp;#039;s safety goals are met. You can help prevent future airline accidents by writing to your senators and representative, urging them to see that the FAA upholds the law. Download our airline safety sample letter and send it to your lawmakers. Contact information for senators is at senate.gov, and representatives are listed at house.gov.
