There were so many children on this flight. So horrific. My heart hurts.
And President Trump does not care at all. Such a sad commentary on a man who cares only for self.
@@salliesterling9327 You’re judging Pres. Trump from a tiny soundbite edited by woke media.
wHERE IS YOUR GOD NOW?
@@CaseNotesOnFileright. wtf! Trump is sincere af and angry too. Blaming trump is NOT the answer.
@@CaseNotesOnFilea lot of people are washed up in the media not understanding what they’re watching/listening to
Prayers for all the victims , ❤
I am so sad for the Lane family and all other families who are directly impacted by this tragedy. I'm so so sorry for their loss.
Mr Lane this breaks my heart so sorry
Accidents happen but this type of accident at a major airport is unacceptable.
Condolences to Mr Lane for his Great loss , rest in peace 😢
I landed in Washington, D.C., two weeks ago for a connection.
During the in-flight safety briefing before departure, the flight attendant mentioned a floatation device in case of a crash in water. When we took off, I immediately noticed that the Potomac River was partially frozen and thought to myself that if I fell into that water, I wouldn't survive more than 15 minutes.
My condolences go out to all the victims and their families, as well as the D.C. community. It was a very tragic event.
Oh wow
They said at 35 degrees you can survive about 30 min
How are you coping with this unimaginable horror? Have you sought counseling from visionary mental health professionals, for the unprecedented suffering that you're burdened with, on your terrifying journey of transcendent awareness? The D.C. "community" is absolutely devastated by this nightmare; they'll never recover and it will cause intergenerational trauma!
Yeah, for me, I don’t think I would survive more than 5 minutes. So very tragic.
I read the bodies were far from the Potomac.
OMG, to see the two collide mid-air is extremely haunting.😢💔
Should never let those damn military choppers fly in commercial airspace, especially at night!!!!
Actually, that airspace has usually been more for military but over the years, since changed to Reagan, they wanted more commercial flights. It normally works but an accident is just an accident.
I’m so sorry to all victims family 🙏🏽🙏🏽🩵
Actually it was the Helicopters fault he flew directly into the jet !
I don't think the helicopter ever saw that jet until impact. The pilot told ATC he had a visual but he was looking at the wrong plane. Why didn't ATC tell the copter to take immediate evasive action when they could see on radar that a crash was about to happen? ATC should have been able to tell that the copter pilot did not see the AA jet.
@@mothernature8893Cuz the pilot told ATC he saw them and called for visual separation. ATC contacted them right before confirming if the BH saw the plane and again he said yea and called for visual separation. Aint like ATC has cams in military crafts to see what the pilot is seeing
Yes he didn’t know there was one already closer 😭😭
@mothernature8893 They did, Spanky. Go listen to the ATC recordings from last night.
Was the ATC overworked ? Even the best man/woman who is pulling double the load for a long duration can have a micro lapse that can be a major human loss. I think pilots can fly only so many hours and then need a break - are the ATC hours protected like that?
What a great dad and husband. 4:07 im so sorry man...
Heart ❤ is with ALL families and friends ❤❤❤
So heartbreaking 💔 😢💔
💔💔💔 absolutely devastating
Condolences 💐
Heartbreaking..
Breaks my heart this has happened..knowing some of the young ones had a parent with them makes a bit more bearable still so devastating tho just hits hard how fast it can all go away
Sickening to see the crash 😢😢😢
So many beautiful souls..the world is grieving..gone too soon 😢..god bless them all.
Not the world
Most ppl don't care
So many die everyday in car accidents
God plz comfort all the family and friends of the victims.
I don’t have much to offer at the moment, but I am going go reach out to Mr. Lane and offer my condolences. It’s what we should do as a fellow human. This tragedy was preventable.
I send my condolences to the families 🙏
LIFE IS NOT FAIR😭
Good coverage. Thanks.
Mr. Lane, I am so sorry for the loss of your wife and son. May their memories be a blessing, and may the Lord comfort you and your younger son. 🙏❤️
A true ACCIDENT. They happen. Even when everyone does their job.
Accidents like this are unacceptable… and someone did not do their job.
did you get any change in your cup today?
Only someone who hs no.brain, no one withs common sense and empathy. How anyone put a worse human being for president
The Potomac used to remained iced up nearly every January until about 30 years ago.
Wow so hard hear the stories of the ones lost in this crash
Prayers
Prayers for everyone
I’m appalled that Trump is trying to blame DEI, Obama, and Biden for this tragic crash when the real issue was likely his own reckless decision to cut staff.
RIP to the beautiful souls on board.
I’m not sure why you would be…. This is Donald Trump we are talking about
His cut to staff hasn’t even taken effect sooo… You people blamed Trump for all your failures over the last 4 years. You’re even blaming him for the price of eggs like he could change that in 4 days…
@mcourtois75 ~ 💔 - It's truly beyond the pale; as #47 (sorry I just can't seem to call him "President Trump" - after 10 days of nothing but retribution & chaos in Washington DC!) - cannot EVER dig deep within his narcissistic & dark soul to just be kind without a boatload of BLAME! He's an assault to everyone's mind, body & soul! Nothing but empathy, prayers & condolences to ALL the loved ones of the American Eagle & Black Hawk aircrafts ... 🕊️🙏🪽
Shame on you this is tragic enough with political B.S.
@@mcourtois75 You all have blamed Trump for everything over the last 4 years. Just stop pretending you’re any better.
Rip to all of the passengers.
Just horrible. Totally avoidable
Crime scenes can tell stories if analyzed correctly. 🔬
Training helicopter flying into Reagan National…. Is that even allowed?
🇺🇸 ~ In a time of an airline crash, national disaster or large scale violence --- it is the DUTY of the President of the United States of America to be calm, comforting & EMPATHETIC!!! What in God's name is wrong with #47 ... 🤯⁉️
@ShellyBomb,He"s to busy worrying about illegal migrants.
Wors volume for a channel. Our ear's are getting blasted off, when advertisement comes on.
Blame trump
Blame game after firing key safety guards.
@@northshorelight35there is ZERO evidence that any “DEI hire” had anything to do with the crash. Trump is a disgrace. You are in a cult. Seek help.
@@northshorelight35 🤡
So you’re playing the game too?
Is it just me , or were the wing lights not working on this plane before the helicopter hit it ? And does anybody know why it appears there is something on top of the plane emanating a strong light downward right before the helicopter hit the plane ?
A very strong light.
Beautiful family Douglas, God will see you through you’re strong ❤
U.S military cowboy antics killed those people on that plane. Who the hell conducts training exercises on an active airport traffic route
So Close to the Capital !!! This is Serious 😮
Yes---
Chuck shummer needs to just go away forever.
Truth hurts eh? FOTUS needs to just go away! Felon of the United States
He turns MY stomach.
@@jeanniemainzer8551 tRump turns all our stomachs 🤮
Mercy, Mercy Lord. Have mercy Lord we trust you Lord during this difficult time , Lord we put all these families, at the feet of your cross. We know Lord you have a potential to heal, comfort restore hope in all these families Lord We trust you our Lord Jesus !
Chuck makes me sick
Not as much as trump makes me sick 🤢🤢🤢
FOTUS is your president, not ours 🤢 🤮
The legal system isn’t perfect, and innocent people sometimes pay the price. 🚔
What a dreadful man 45 is😢
My heart is so heavy and my stomach is sick over this. My heartfelt condolences to all the loved ones of the victims.
So sad
😢🙏🏽
Has chopper Black Box been Found ???
Yes as of 7pm EST
Who were the service members who died in the helicopter?
Good question
Obviously, they were prepared for landing and strapped in their seats and wearing their seat belts and they're going to have to bring up the part of the plane for recovering the rest of the passengers 😢
❤️🩹 ~ I am so sorry & send my condolences to Douglas Lane and his son; it's unimaginable to be at the airport or home waiting on loved ones to return ... only to have this horrific mid-air collision occur and so close to the runway of the Reagan National Airport ~ 🕊️🙏🪽
The pursuit of justice is never truly over, as new evidence can emerge at any time. ⏳
Schumer turns my stomach 🤬
AGREED! As a matter of fact they all turn my stomach on the left.
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
@@M.Sforza you are one of the maga stupid, no empathy. Talk about the victims for once. Good God almighty. You and your dear leader are the same S…HT
Well, Trump turns all our stomachs, esp at that press conference so I guess we're all even.
You sickos
STOP replaying the video of the explosion!!!! Im sure the families of the victims dont want to continue to see it played over and over again and watch their loved ones being blown up over the Potomac!
What Barrington? Vermont…Massachusetts?
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼💔
How in the name of god could Trump say such deceptive untrue and disgusting things. Such an unempathetic evil mind.
I don’t even hate trump but he’s annoying and speaks rubbish.
He needs to learn watch his mouth and to be articulate as a president ffs
@FrankskinOrweed-ep4ij That will NEVER happen. He is incapable in every way, mentally unfit and unstable. He is not presidential. He takes what his minions write and stands up in front of the world, regurgitates their thoughts and words and becomes even more ignorant and lets his cowardice show for everyone to see. He has no clue how stupid and cruel and unnecessary his comments were. They don't make him stronger or look or sound stronger. This is the way of weakness. History and the higher powers of the universe will judge him.
If the last administrator failed to put the right experience workers to perform the job and this failure lead to this terrible tragedies then they should be blame for this tragedies. This is what happens when people are put in the job that they are not qualified to to perform their job and as a result people got hurt. Under staffs and over work can hurt others and it's doesn't matter what kind jobs you have. This is what happens to health care providers all over the country, not just aviation. These types of jobs can hurt others if they don't have the adequate staffs or experience staffs. I so much agree with the president Donald Trump about put the right experienced people to the right jobs not DEI nonsense. People's lives are depending on the experienced staff on certain jobs. I'm a nurse and I see more experienced staffs are replacing with the inexperienced staffs just to save money. The administrators don't care if their's stff are experienced or not because the more money they save the better bonus for themselves in the end of the year.
This is heartbreaking and everyone grieving for the families politics wanna debate and argue . Get some real answers then address the issues … too many government officials and all they can do is cause chaos..
💔 ~ Truly heartbreaking ... To think they were ALL so close to touchdown at the Reagan National Airport - 🕊️🙏🪽
No fly zone for a reason
This. Exactly ! Ridiculous to EVER have such a possibility
I dont think this is going to end well for any of these people. RiP whoever died on this plane.
This is sooo tragic. My God. 🙏🏻 for the families.
Who could EVER think this would happen.
*TRUMP….IT IS NOT A DEI PROBLEM. STOP THE BLAMING.*
That’s the only thing that POS knows how to do is. Dude is just fake.
Maybe it's just my eyes , but doesn't it look like there was already something quite odd going on with the plane before the helicopter hit it ?
The plane swung out a bit for the runway it was cleared for but it was supposed to. Think 18 wheeler making a left turn on a tight road... they swing left first
No, thats not what i meant. If u slow the video down to .25 seconds and look closely , it looks like theres something on top of the plane emanating a strange light downwards to the ground. I also dont see the wing lights on this commercial airliner . You can see the wing lights on the other airplanes in other footage of this " accident ", but you never see the wing lights on the plane that crashed. That seems odd to me. @NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot
@@sarahrose4126 Ahhh ok. I'll rewatch
@@NopeUghUghAbsolutelyNot Cool. Let me know if u can find any footage of the doomed planes wings lights strobing before it gets hit by the helicopter , because I can't. Other commenter's are also starting to notice that it appears as if the doomed planes wings lights were turned off before the accident. That seems odd Yes ?
@sarahrose4126 That is fishy. I'll see what I can find tomorrow when I'm on my laptop. Let ya know what I find
Accident u have 2 b blind not 2 see plane 3 guys in copter
Can you explain to me why you keep repeatedly showing the collision of the two aircraft? Is once not enough? Are you trying to traumatize your audience for views?
It’s sensationalism. It sells.
3:55 little fella its North Korean
Do you think Kim Jong Un allow us to adopt their kids? Get real.
The 😅😂
Chopper Piolet, young with little son an wife 😢
Clear Vision in Sky ...
I believe he was the crew chief. Feel so bad his 1 year old son will never get to grow up with his dad.
The chopper pilot was a DEI hired. He should have never been begging the controls.
Do you actually know this as a fact??
That thumbnail tho. 😂 welcome to bizarro racist America
Atleast we have a president that does something now instead of reading a script *cough cough Biden*
You mother gave birth to through your ass like trump!
This NO Dought...
Air Tower,.Screwd up Big Time. 😡😡🔱
You don’t know whose fault. It’s an ongoing investigation. Have some empathy for the victims families
It was probably the cuts Trump made since he's been elected.
🫡 ~ #47 has to READ from a typed statement expressing his "concern" for those who perished & their families?!? Geeze - he couldn't just SPEAK on his own - without having it written down by someone in his Administration; so COLD & CALLOUS ... 😢
Every killer leaves behind a pattern-finding it is the key to solving cases. 🔢
