A group of high school kids from VA also died. Very sad.

Really? How is this not in the news?

It's crazy how random life can be

[@jackeroo75]

Unfortunately, we live in a simulated world.

@@jackeroo75 if its simulated, there wouldnt be accidents like this that serve no purpose, whats ur refute for it

[@Hulksmashhulkregret]

@@edinxswardthe only purpose necessary in a simulation is the reason for the simulation’s existence. Within the simulation, no purpose is necessary so long as the simulation itself is serving its intended purpose. If there is purpose within the simulation, it likely supports the primary purpose for the simulation. For instance, if we’re living in a Fermi Paradox simulation (FP is the question of why we’ve seen no trace of alien life which should be abundant enough to be detectable), where the simulation runs scenarios that could destroy an intelligent species to see what the probabilities for survival in various scenarios are, adding random events suggests that reflects the reality the simulation creator lives in. The random events/tragedies supports the core purpose of the simulation in providing realism to make it more accurate.

@@edinxswardthat’s far from true. Accidents would be to put fear in citizens. It’s not a simulation that benefits us. What’s happening to us while we are hooked up?

Spencer was probably the most polite you g man I ever met. Definitely sorry to all families and friends of the people who perished in this tragedy.😢

He looks so ethereal

[@Draysgirlslays]

What’s even more sad is that those teens weren’t the youngest.Two figure skating partners,both about 8 died on that plane too.They were sadly on there way to a competition:/

[@aliciacat2323]

So sorry for loss of life. We never know when we will be called home.

[@KanałŻyciewKanadzieAnitaBeata]

I don't know how this chopper got on the landing path of a commercial plane and also how the narration is: "the plane hit the helicopter" No! The helicopter hit the plane. I personally knew the Russian figure skating coaches that are among the victims.

[@jasonbourne5142]

Russian?

[@KanałŻyciewKanadzieAnitaBeata]

@@jasonbourne5142 Yes they were from Russia.

Ugh so many young talents were aboard... This is horrendous

[@ofeliahawkins9272]

Praying,big question why ? Saw the video the helicopter went straight to the commercial plane looks intentional?

[@deadeyes4626]

Why did a military helicopter get anywhere near a airplane though? No one is giving an explanation why, it’s just “accidents happened” *end of story*

[@zdobson88]

It’s been less than 24 hours. You think this all gets figured out in a matter of minutes? Are you slow? Another internet know it all.

i believe the helicopter pilot was suicidal..we will find out

Military chopper flying at night for nothing.

It sounds suspicious 🤔 Sad situation... there's no place like home folks!🇺🇲

so young, had a great future ahead..gone to soon. praying for the families and everyone that was onboard.

[@BookJay35]

How does one explain to the parents of these kids that people failed in doing their jobs, which cost their kids their lives?

[@WeiYinChan]

many of the parents were on the plane as well...

[@MadMaxcomingforyourlife]

WHY WAS THE MILITARY HELICOPTER FLYING DARK IN COMMERCIAL AIRSPACE?!?!?!

Rip😢

Time of peace, why military chopper flying at night near a hub airport 400 flights/day?

[@stephenmosher7678]

Military choppers fly at night all the time. You obviously never served your country. They do training missions at night as well as day. Because if they ever called to be in combat they need to have experienced flying at night and navigating at night time.

I never served, and I knew the answer🤔🤔🤔

DEI helicopter pilot? WHY did the pilot NOT maneuver to get clear of the plane? The pilot HAD to see that brightly lit commercial airplane!

[@skylark1250]

Not with night goggles on. Probably did not see plane until last seconds.
