The Empty Chair:

Love and Loss in the Wake of Flight 3407

is an anthology of memoirs, stories, poems, letters, and photos honoring

the victims of Flight 3407 which crashed in Clarence Center just outside

Buffalo, NY, on February 12, 2009, killing all 49 people on board and

one man in his house on the ground.  This anthology is dedicated to the

victims of that flight and to their families and friends.

Honoring the victims of Flight 3407, The Empty Chair, published by

Over 60 contributors submitted poems, stories, personal journal entries,

letters, memories, and photographs for and about the victims of the crash

of Flight 3407. The Empty Chair serves as a remembrance and vehicle to

express the emotions and grief of the contributors and our community.
