NEW YORK -- One Chinese national was among the 50 people that perished Thursday night when a Continental flight crashed into a single-home house in Clarence Center near Buffalo in northern New York state, a diplomat at the Chinese Consulate General in New York said Friday.

Yao Shibin, born in 1971, was an employee of PricewaterhouseCoopers, said Luo Gang, a consul at the Consulate General.

Yao's husband, Pan Xiaojun, will be flying to Buffalo shortly.
