Those divers are heroes! They’re the bravest people during this time. I just can’t imagine pulling out those bodies of water in such conditions.
I was just thinking that...I couldn't do it..
I can't begin to imagine what the divers go through. And the families waiting for their loved ones to be pulled from the frigid water. Heartbreak abound. My prayers are with all. 🙏💔
God bless 🙌 each everyone,s family's, Let us all pray for them😢😢😢❤❤
instead of prayers, try doing something useful
WHO ESLE WAS ON THAT PLANE HUM! VERY FISHY TO THE WORLD. THEY WILL LIAR ABOUT IT.
Jesussssss!!! Help us!!! 🙏🏽❤️
Small body pieces are extremely difficult to locate on water.
Such a dangerous operation for the dive team. The horrors they see, the freezing temps and sharp metal to navigate… keeping them in my thoughts.
Amen lord!
Yes, bless them n keep them safe throughout this tedious operation to find and collect fragments of the plane along with the passengers who remain missing!!
@@jackpack3506 pray for these brave men🙏🏼 unbelievable what they are seeing…
Bless them. Thankfully it’s been a little warmer outside during the day the past few days. But temps will drop down again on Wed.
It is unimaginable being the one diver finding those bodies, some may be children, still strapped into their seats. I just can’t. The imagery would haunt me for life. Those poor souls. I can only hope they died quickly with no pain from the actual collision and not from drowning 😢 prayers for them all 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🫶🏼💔❤️🩹
The weather conditions and freezing river with strong currents adds a layer of difficulty.
@ yeah, sadly, I just can’t even wrap my head around it. Its awful
As someone who has dived in pretty murky lakes, nothing is more eerie than suddenly coming up on wreckage at the bottom. I can only imagine how mentally and emotionally haunting it must be to see those bodies down there. RIP everyone 😢
That is exactly what disturbs me and why I have respect for first responders
Exactly same things i said. Its heart breaking to even watch here farless diving under water to see all kids mostly..this is kinda thing that gives u trauma and need help after...its horrifying. May god have mercy on their souls.
My deepest Sympathy and Condolence to all the families. My prayers RIP.
With as firey a crash as this was, they may never find any remains of the last 12. So very sad.
I was going to say the same. There may only be parts or nothing to find at this point. I was in aviation maintenance in the Navy, and when I see crashes of any kind, I cry. I know everyone from maintenance, supply, ATC, and crews feels this pain to their core.
The river stream is another major issue. Nothing like a lake!
@@joso5554you’re right yes the currents can certainly present problems by displacing smaller parts of the plane or the passengers on board!! They may very well find them inside the fuselage still seatbelted or likely discovered n removed them before they towed the wreckage away!
@@justjen99Doesn't mean they won't be found
That doesn't mean they won't be found
Thinking of the families & this huge loss.
I don’t believe it was the air traffic controllers fault. It was the helicopter pilots fault
The tower was understaffed as a result of DEI. Only 1 percent of towers are fully staffed in the USA because of DEI. If you’re white and have a perfect test score you won’t get hired. So they can’t get enough qualified controllers. They had 19 in the tower when there should be 30 and one decided to go home early 15 minutes before the crash. As a result the controller may not of been smart enough or had enough time to explain which plane to avoid and to let the helicopter know they are above the 200 foot limit. Over one thousand near misses recently so this crash was over due, it was just a matter of time.
I agree
@midgie1166 I disagree for so many reasons.
I continue to pray for the divers and hope they're able to recover everyone.
As a frequent flyer, it breaks my heart 💔 as I think about the pilot making the final call to prepare for landing , and passengers text their loved ones that they will be landing soon or even some passengers saw the black hawk coming right at them and they were defenceless .. tragic tragic please God heal the family members and may all the souls perished rest in paradise 🦅 ❤️.
I thought phones were supposed to be turned off. Is there a way to text without interfering with wifi?
Thoughts and prayers with the families of the loved ones lost, and deepest respect and gratitude to those divers and recovery agents working to retrieve the remaining lost souls.
not to mention, being in the water for the past few days will make it (I believe) difficult to identify, so much sadness. I pray for the families and give them strength.
Sadly, it is likely that the river flow will have taken away a significant part of the remains of the victims that were not kept inside parts of the aircraft fuselage. Some may be recovered later on the river banks.
Sadly some of the victims will not be fully recovered. Anyone sitting in the plane right where the helicopter hit was likely destroyed and, if anything, they may only find parts of them.
I feel so awful for the divers. Although they are experts, no one goes into this field thinking they will be responsible for recovering bodies or body parts.
Girl you don't know that
@ Have you seen the news this morning? They found more remains, which they were carrying on trays the size of cookie sheets. So, yes girl, I did know that.
God bless those people who are working so diligently to gather what they can, to give the Families some hope and closure. Not an easy job for anyone.
So horrible for all involved 😢🙏🙏🙏
God bless all of those beautiful people that perished in that crash. It was terrible. I’m afraid this could happen to anyone.
As with most unintentional accidents, this was easily preventable, if there had been intervention, in the chain of events, that progressed to collision.
All accidents are unintentional
So sad the airliner was told to deviate from the original runway… to #33
yes, if he went as planned to the original runway, this would not have happened , its very sad ' Safety has to come first. operational planning fail caused this
Exactly…to close to their landing…
@@vickie30 less than 60 dammmmm secs‼️
You mean if the chopper had been paying attention this wouldn't have happened @@DOCTORDROTT
Well yes they are angry as they should be. But it was my family member you would know I was there protesting this crash.!!
Why exactly would you be protesting this crash when everybody who was assigned to the case is working to help the families
@ protesting the fact that it happened. Military helicopters have no place with commercial hers!
I'll give the reporter the benefit of the doubt, it's not "Commercial Regional Jet". The "C" is for Canadair, the company that made the jet. It was part of Bombardier, now mostly owned by Airbus, but this is not an Airbus aircraft.
It's also "Pot-Ohm-Ack", not "Potto-Mac" but let's not be picky.
Hoping they find the missing 12 bodies. I cannot even imagine being a diver in the water knowing what you might come across.
If there really was a black box in the helicopter all they have to do is lidten to it. Then they'll know exactly what happened. The sole blame should be put on the helicopter pilots. Not on ATC or the plane.
I cannot imagine. Hopefully never again.
Why would you ask a colleague if they know about the key bridge collapse it was Major news and how could she possibly forget it because that's her career to know that
What a bizarre question
"Remember the Key bridge collapse? does that ring a bell"?? WTF??
I was thinking the same thing… especially since she’s a news reporter. Obviously she remembers it lolol
Any knowledge of person who left early from control tower, 4th person who should have been in helicopter but wasn't, and pilot Rebecca of helicopter : did any combination of them know each other or have text or email communication between them?
This aviation accident was years in the making. By some weird coincidence all the links in the chain of events came together... 🙏
The crosses😢❤️ I hope they create a permanent memorial for this tragedy✝️
CRJ stands for Canadair Regional Jet, not commercial jet.
Sad to say but I'd say the 12 just got blown apart on impact
More likely ejected during the collision and moved down the river by the current.
That is speculation you are not at the crash site
one night i was scrolling through my phone, feeling like i’d never figure out why some people just seem so magnetic. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and something about it caught my attention. reading it was like turning on a light in a dark room. it’s not about pretending to be someone you’re not; it’s about unlocking the energy you already have. trust me, this book is worth every page
What does this have to do with this tragedy?
@@MidnightWarrior1976, nothing. It's a heartless troll probably plugging his own book. Shameful, considering the content of this video.
Unfortunately, they likely won't ever find all of them, given the force of the impact, river current, etc.
there was a time when i kept wondering why some people seemed to naturally draw others in while i was just…there. no matter what i tried, i couldn’t figure out how they did it. then someone mentioned the book Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and i decided to check it out. the way it explains how your aura affects everything around you? it blew me away. it’s like having a secret code to unlock your magnetic energy. this book is a game-changer.
It's a Bombardier CRJ (for Canadair Regional Jet), not "commercial regional jet"
18 wheeer semi trucks DO THIS ACTION EVERY DAY. They are so focused on what’s in front of them and switching gears that they don’t see the poor old lady RIGHT BESIDES THEM for a mile. Then they MERGE RIGHT ONTO the old lady and KEEP GOING while she’s in a ditch upside down.
Rip to victims
I am guessing some will never be found.
So sad, I think you are right :(
Also anyone getting information on who approved the Black Hawk to fly? Was military monitoring and/or in communication with helicopter personnel during flight? ANY knowledge of if collision avoidance software is/was on helicopter, as such is on today's cars???
The chopper does not use TCAS. However, investigators will want to know did it have tactical navigation radar and if so, was it on?
Stop the silly sound effects
There are no silly sound effects that you think are being added to the video
I think they are saying "identified" when they mean "recovered."
No they aren't
This this is why you have to be sitting in your assigned seat for takeoff and landing. Seats are numbered. Aircraft seats only have to stay attached at a 20g impact. The seats in a car have to take 80g. So airplane seats tear loose and they find you still strapped in.
I don't understand why it has taken so long to raise this wreckage and find the remaining bodies that they are allowing to rot under water, which by the way is only about ten feet deep. The army should have had hundreds of people standing by to rotate in and out of the water. The NTSB seems to be more concerned about the mental health of their workers than they are about retrieving these poor civilians that the army killed.
I completely understand not raising the wreck until all possible bodies/parts are recovered, you don't exactly want that type of thing just falling out of the wreckage as its lifted. And BTW, the water temp is around freezing, so nothing is rotting.
@MG-ot2yr raising it was the only way to retrieve them as they were entangled in crushed wreckage. It should have been done two days ago. There are videos showing them raising the fuselage today. No Way they were ever going to get divers in there.
@@makmelaf That's possible for some, but for others no so entangled, they still needed time to make sure there wasn't a grisly scene for media cameras.
The water is 35 degrees, basically the same temperature as a refrigerator.
Water desintegrates. See examples online by number of days.
I found a wallet in that water. It still had money and everything in it.
Did they find any bodies still in their seats in the fuselage?
I would think so… 😢🙏🏼😢
Yes... "Some plane passengers were still strapped in their seats, but removing them proved difficult as sharp pieces of debris ripped the wetsuits worn by first responders."
Those divers are finding body parts at this point. Probably from the impact point.
They wouldn't release that information because it would be traumatizing to the public much less to any family members that would be watching coverage on the news
@@GaryM-d6i this Really makes you hurt for everyone involved… and the ones left behind 🙏🏼
🙏
Amen Lord Jesus 🙏🏻 bless their hard work and please renew their strength 🙏🏻 amen
Simple people with racist views. 😢
We found the guy who plays the Victim Card lads, do us a favor & cry us a river.
@@RTS-APERTURE We’re already crying for the sixty-seven dead people.
Making this a racist thing is absolutely disgusting. What's wrong with you? Where did you get that ridiculous idea?
They have found all the bodies they will, the others will have been annihilated, eaten by critters in the river by now
i remember feeling like i was always the one fading into the background while others stood out effortlessly. it was frustrating and made me doubt myself a lot. then i came across this book, Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it showed me things i’d never even considered. it’s not just a self-help book; it’s like a guide to understanding your own energy and using it to connect with people. if you’ve ever felt like you’re not seen, this book might change everything.
My condolences to the families and friends who have lost someone in this horrific crash
This is all Trump's fault and the unelected official president Musk. It's all their fault for trying to disband and get rid of FAA and safety regulations.
What are you talking about - trumps fault!!
No wrong..now everyone wants to start playing the blame game..wowww shame on u...would u hv blamed biden if was still president??? How stupid delusional and mis informed...sickkk no respect at alll for ones lost. investigations are ongoing
One of the Rebecca Lobach' friends said that she was a great fun to be with. Perhaps one should check if she was on-line, taking selfies whilst flying - just for fun
That description of her says it all
I love how you automatically blame the female pilot
These bodies are probably floating down the river.. fish food. 🙁
Hate to say this but shark bait for bull sharks
i used to think being magnetic was just about looks or confidence, but i couldn’t have been more wrong. i read this book called Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it totally changed my perspective. it breaks down the energy and mindset behind true attraction in a way that just makes sense. once i started applying what it taught, i noticed people reacting to me differently almost instantly. it’s seriously worth a read.
Hawking books is in appropriate and insensitive, considering the nature of this video. Please post you spam elsewhere.
Joe and kammy’s dei policies led to this. 😢
NO IT DIDN'T ITS TRUMPS FAULT! GROW UP!
@misskasi8406 Explain
@@misskasi8406 Troll. Just a nasty troll. Ignore it. I am
@@misskasi8406Proof?
180 Republicans voted against funding to FAA in 2019 under trump. 8 were awarded with cabinet positions. Musk was fined $600,000 by the FAA for disregarding safety regulations. The director was fired with no replacement. 😢 67 lives lost.
Those memorial crosses, which are a beautiful gesture, look so bleak in the frigid rain.
What a sad task for these divers, and in these icy conditions.
My heart goes out to the families wanting answers, I would too - but often to do justice to the victims the investigations are long and painstaking. I hope they are at least given some explanations.
RIP, condolences and respect to the recovery teams. What they do is invaluable.
DEI people can’t do there jobs right this is what happens
Go back to your coloring books.
People are not perfect all the time.
Judgemental... for what you say.. comeback ... will knock in your door...
At least DEI people can spell better than you 😅😅
DEI KILLS
Helicopter pilot who knowledges aircraft coming in path of travel but doesn't get out of the way kills.
And your comment is way off base. It should be removed.
@@NSFDarkIce They were looking at the wrong ACFT.
When are they going to release the name of the DEI pilot Donnie made famous?
It's already been released
Is just me or are acronyms now the norm in goverment discussions..??
Many years ago, when I was the Emergency Preparedness Coordinator for a local hospital, there was an actual book that listed all the acronyms for government bureaucracies, and it was literal insanity!
When did journalists questions become so inane? Are there really so many people out there that basically have to be spoken to like children to know what's going on? Or maybe it's another part of getting old that sucks because there's been so many tragedies I've seen & heard about now. It's very sad & very depressing. My heart is with everyone involved in this week's disasters.🩷
