Sean Lang

Sean Lang was killed when Continental flight #3407 crashed near Buffalo on February 12, 2009.

Lang, 19, of Montgomeryville, Pa., was flying north to visit his girlfriend. Lang's parents and brothers learned it was his flight that had gone down shortly after the crash.

"He was incredibly loved," Lonnie Cooper, Lang's brother, told the Bucks County Courier-Times. "He was an incredibly cool guy. All of his friends looked up to him as a leader."

Lang had been attending college at Penn State's Abington campus. Cooper said his brother had not declared a major, but was excited about an upcoming transfer to the main campus in State College.

"He was a huge Penn State fan," Cooper said.

Lang also threw his heart into supporting the Eagles and Phillies. He and his friends were among the many thousands who attended the Phillies World Series celebration parade.

Lang worked in an Army/Navy store in Montgomeryville. He also enjoyed snowboarding and had recently taken a trip to Vermont.

"He was into living life to the fullest," said Cooper.
