Yes- in the middle of a snowstorm. If the plane continued even a hundred feet further, it would have crashed into at least 2 or 3 (multi-unit) houses.
The other incident -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_553 - miraculously, only two people died on the ground.
If anything resembling what happened in Clarence Center happened on the takeoff/landing approach at Midway, it would be catastrophic, with several dozens of victims on the ground.
