United Airlines confirms plane lost

A United Airlines plane crashed Tuesday morning just north of the Somerset

County Airport, the airline said.

The Boeing 757 was enroute from Newark, N.J. to San Francisco.

The plane crashed about 10 a.m. about 8 miles east of Jennerstown, according

to county 911 dispatchers, WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh reported.

"It shook the whole station," said Bruce Grine, owner of Grine's Service

Center in Shanksville, about two and one-half miles from the crash.

"Everybody ran outside, and by that time the fire whistle was blowing."
