It’s been a heart breaking day. 2 people from my office were on the plane. They both retired recently and were so excited to be supporting their son and his figure skating aspirations. While I’m so sad for their surviving daughter I comfort myself they were all living their dreams.
Sobbing for the 10 and 11 year olds. All the children abord flight. All the people. A 1 year old baby lost hia father. So tragic. 😢 prayers for all in loss of loved ones.
Heartbreaking for all. I read a post on X asking if anyone 'important' died?! All of these poor people were important and I'm glad you've included many of them here.
What they meant, was that not the ones were not important. That person thinks somebody was in that plane, and it was hit on purpose. That's why they were asking that particular question.
ATC was spread really thin. Trumps layoffs hit the FAA too last week, I know someone who works as an ATC and he said it's chaos right now because of Trumps mew policy. "I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner honestly. The last 10 days have been VERY chaotic and difficult. I've never seen it this bad" Is what he said
From everything that I have read and listen to, the helicopter, which was a military helicopter, it should have been able to see the aircraft. That's what they are trained to do. They were told to get out of the way and the helicopter did not. It's all so confusing
I can’t imagine the terror of the victims before the crash that’s if they survived the initial impact of the helicopter. Very tragic and highly unfortunate. I feel very sorry for the families.
It happened so quickly. I imagine they didn’t even have time to be told to brace for impact. That impact and fireball would have killed mercifully quickly.
My heart hurts for all those that lost their loved ones in this terrible accident. I know what it feels like to lose someone who you depend on, who is the most important person in your life. God be with everyone left behind.🙏💔
My high school sweetheart died after I graduated. I learned to live life differently than most people. I try to live life to the fullest and not take anything for granted. So sorry for all these people. 💔
Something will have to change as far as visual separation is concerned, especially at a busy airport and at night. This was a tragedy waiting to happen unfortunately.
Another hard lesson we have to learn. That helicopter, all helicopters/aircraft should NOT be shared in that airspace. Why? This is why. Grow up little children!
I’m a helicopter pilot and this wasn’t caused by crowded airspace, it was caused by pilot error. This is the aviation equivalent of someone seeing a red light at a crowded intersection and plowing through it.
@@joshthsu so why was the black hawk.in a crowded area where commercial planes suppose to land what business did the helicopter have in that.space when its crowded already.
@ regardless of if the airspace was crowded or not, coordinating aircraft across final approach of an active runway is not a good idea. The crash itself was caused by pilot error, yes, but that doesnt mean this event couldnt have been prevented by better routing. Im a pilot as well, and having traffic crossing my flight path on final would make me uneasy, especially at night. There are also published military routes around where i fly, none of which pass in front of active runways or in the vicinity/CTR of an active aerodrome.
I cant believe the copter pilot didn't see the oncoming bright lights of the plane and runway. VERY SUSPICIOUS just like all the WINTER fires in California.
Prayers of comfort sent to families in this most difficult time. You have the support of the American people. May kind words and the love of family and friends help see you through. 😢
JANUARY 20 - Trump fires the head of the Federal Aviation Administration, the department in charge of flight safety JANUARY 21 - Trump freezes hiring for Air Traffic Controllers JANUARY 22 - Trump disbands the Aviation Safety Advisory Committee JANUARY 28 - Trump sends out a buyout/retirement demand to existing employees, removing experienced safety staff JANUARY 29 - First American mid-air collision in 16 years
Hasn't been since Reagan. This is all the fault of Reagan. And the irony is it happen at Reagans airport. He is the cause of the air traffic controllers shortage
@@nonyabeezwax4303 You are a horrible awful person who needs to be medicated. Everyone at the controls goes through the same rigorous testing and qualification. It was a freak accident at night that could have been prevented with better overall traffic procedures.
Who even are you. You have authority to say this? I personally have no idea what factors are to blame for this tragedy. If there's anything to blame at all. Sometimes tragic accidents just happen 💔
Because the mission of that unit require them to operate all over DC, but particularly they do a large number of daily flights in the area close to National Airport. They need to be able to train under the conditions (airspace restrictions, traffic density, etc). No one has been willing to give up the convenience of that airport by drastically reducing flights or even closing it. Hopefully, procedures can be tightened to increase safety. It’s a challenging area for both civilian and military flight ops.
On January 21st, a certain someone, fired the head of TSA, The Coast guard and gutted the key aviation safety committee. Yet today that certain someone is also on air claiming that this is a disaster due to D.E.I. which is insensitive to make this political to the family members whose loved ones have all passed away.
I am so sorry that our president placed blame on prior administration, instead of, like most humans, acknowledged the human grief to family members and friends of the victims and offered condolences. My sincere condolences to all that lost loved ones in this tragedy. Such a loss. God bless you all 😪😪 Like the Potomac airlines crash many years ago, I just prayed that more people would pop up out of the river. This was devastating.
My heart goes out to the loved ones who lost family in that terrible crash over DC.
I can't imagine the pain 💔
10 years old man, life's too short. You never know when it's your time. Love your loved ones and never take for granted
🙏💕
They were almost home. :(
It’s been a heart breaking day. 2 people from my office were on the plane. They both retired recently and were so excited to be supporting their son and his figure skating aspirations. While I’m so sad for their surviving daughter I comfort myself they were all living their dreams.
I am so sorry the loss of your coworkers…and all those who lost their lives and I pray for their families and friends…😢🩵🩵🩵🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This is so devastating, we didn’t need this 😢
accidents happen ... does not make it easy
Sobbing for the 10 and 11 year olds. All the children abord flight. All the people. A 1 year old baby lost hia father. So tragic. 😢 prayers for all in loss of loved ones.
❤
My deepest condolences on the loss of all souls. Thank you to those responders who helped.
I really am just so sorry for these families. I’m in tears for you. 😢
Heartbreaking for all. I read a post on X asking if anyone 'important' died?! All of these poor people were important and I'm glad you've included many of them here.
This is why I'm not on X, it's a culture of just a lack of empathy and kindness for me
I know it sounds bad but they said that because it looks intentional like someone "relevant" was taken out in the crash
So sad and unnecessary.😢
What they meant, was that not the ones were not important. That person thinks somebody was in that plane, and it was hit on purpose. That's why they were asking that particular question.
You know how much this looks like an assassination, right?
The air traffic controller told the helicopter to go around, its not the plane's fault.
ATC was spread really thin. Trumps layoffs hit the FAA too last week, I know someone who works as an ATC and he said it's chaos right now because of Trumps mew policy.
"I'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner honestly. The last 10 days have been VERY chaotic and difficult. I've never seen it this bad" Is what he said
But they only had like 3 seconds after they were told before impact??
Did the ATC call and told you that?
From everything that I have read and listen to, the helicopter, which was a military helicopter, it should have been able to see the aircraft. That's what they are trained to do. They were told to get out of the way and the helicopter did not. It's all so confusing
But too late
My sympathies to the victims and victims ' family members. Omg, 10 years old to 12 years old children dead in this tragedy. It is heartbreaking.
my heart breaks for the victims and their families.
I can’t stop thinking about this tragedy and I don’t even leave in USA.
It’s devastating.
I can’t imagine the terror of the victims before the crash that’s if they survived the initial impact of the helicopter. Very tragic and highly unfortunate. I feel very sorry for the families.
It happened so quickly. I imagine they didn’t even have time to be told to brace for impact. That impact and fireball would have killed mercifully quickly.
They went too quickly to know anything
This is so very heartbreaking. My heart goes out to all involved.
Im so sorry. 😢😢😢😢😢
I do hope all the people on this flight never knew they were about to perish. RIP to all.
Prayers for all 🙏
This is so incredibly sad. Condolences to all affected
My heart hurts for all those that lost their loved ones in this terrible accident. I know what it feels like to lose someone who you depend on, who is the most important person in your life. God be with everyone left behind.🙏💔

My sincere thoughts and prayers are extended to ALL those impacted by this terrible accident.

🙏🏽🙏🏽so sorry for you and your friend …praying

Shows how fragile life is that any one of our life's could be over at any moment and we won't know when and how it's gonna end.
My high school sweetheart died after I graduated. I learned to live life differently than most people. I try to live life to the fullest and not take anything for granted. So sorry for all these people. 💔

This breaks my heart! I’m so sorry!
This is too sad for words. My God.

Something will have to change as far as visual separation is concerned, especially at a busy airport and at night. This was a tragedy waiting to happen unfortunately.

This is unbelievable. Condolences to those affected by this. Cherish your loved ones. This was preventable smh.
So heartbreaking the youngest were 10 to 11 years old 😢prayers to the family
Another hard lesson we have to learn. That helicopter, all helicopters/aircraft should NOT be shared in that airspace. Why? This is why. Grow up little children!
Exactly .
Exactly. The military route needs to be changed. There should not be a low altitude route published in front of a runway.
I’m a helicopter pilot and this wasn’t caused by crowded airspace, it was caused by pilot error. This is the aviation equivalent of someone seeing a red light at a crowded intersection and plowing through it.

Yupp agreed
5 years ago to this month the horrific helicopter crash that took 9 lives that included Kobe.
Condolences to these families and communities. 🙏♥️
Omg, how sad. Praying for their families.
Prayers galore.
Whoever was flying that helicopter is directly to blame.
Very sad 😢
A tragedy 😢
GOD BLESS The Families of this horrible accident 😢 My heart goes out to you all.
Human Error. It's sad. It also happens. Life is a gift. Tell your love ones you love them everyday..🙏
Undeniable tragic and sad. Thank you to the ones that tried their best to rescue survivors.

All those victims and the trickle effect begins ....first responders please take care of yourselves as well
My heartfelt condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones.
How crazy is it that the figure skating group lost 16 members and coaches in 1961 plane crash!!!! What are the odds!!
This is all Trump's fault. 😢
It sounds like its all your fault, I think he was talking about you, diversity hires
This is so sad .. so young with aspirations and talent 😢 God be with them. This hurts 💔
Gone too soon...
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I haven’t stopped praying for ALL OF THESE THESE PRECIOUS FAMILIES SINCE THIS TRAGEDY … CONTINUED PRAYERS
My deepest condolences to all the families. My prayers are with you all.😢🙏
FAA report says staffing in air traffic control tower ‘not normal’ before deadly collision
Hasn't been since Reagan. This is all the fault of Reagan. And the irony is it happen at Reagans airport. He is the cause of the air traffic controllers shortage
So sorry for the loss of So many. My sincere condolences 🙏 🙏🙏 for all the families. ❤
I'm so sorry for your lost.For all the families 😢 🙏
None of these people associated with the operation and guidance of these aircraft were employed as part of any D E I plan.
Stop lying. We have the evidence

@@nonyabeezwax4303 evidence of what
inbred magabillies are too stupid to get a good job, so they blame DEI.
Who even are you. You have authority to say this?

Sincere condolences to all families of the victims from the UK, so devastating 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why is the U.S. military helicopter training is near an airport?
Because the mission of that unit require them to operate all over DC, but particularly they do a large number of daily flights in the area close to National Airport. They need to be able to train under the conditions (airspace restrictions, traffic density, etc). No one has been willing to give up the convenience of that airport by drastically reducing flights or even closing it. Hopefully, procedures can be tightened to increase safety.

Don’t interview that ex husband anymore.
So sad

May the lord bring some healing for the families of the departed souls. Our prayers are with you all.
Sending lots of love and prayers to all the family and friends of the people who lost their lives.

Je regarde cette vidéo pour la dixième fois et je ne comprends toujours pas comment ils font. Mes tentatives se soldent par un désastre🍒
Prayers for all victims and their families❤

My sincere condolences to all that lost loved ones in this tragedy. Such a loss. God bless you all 😪😪 Like the Potomac airlines crash many years ago, I just prayed that more people would pop up out of the river. This was devastating.
That’s expected from a clown president.
Trump is barely human. He's missing many very important human characteristics.
Please, Lord, teach us to number our days. Protect this family and give them comfort. Be blessed. Remember, Jesus is coming soon
Just horrible 😢🙏🏻
So sad What a terrible tragedy
😢😢😢
To watch that explosion was horrific. Prayers for all those precious souls. 🙏🙏😢
Dad, 😢
So much sadness!
this is a sad time for the entire country
I wonder if the passangers with window seats see the helicopter coming at them
That breaks my heart
Can we just skip to 2026.
👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
