[@BeautyInYOU583]

I’m just tuning in. What happened ? Why don’t they report all the news from the start for new viewers

[@airtioteclint]

A black hawk military helicopter ran into a passenger plane while on training in DC. Sixty people on board the plane including kids from the US figure skating team.

[@dAnaione]

Utterly huge loss.....can't believe it.

[@Draysgirlslays]

Two little figures skating partners were on that plane too,they were both about 8.They were on their way to a competition :/

[@winecellar1012]

So sad. :(

So Very Sad For All The Familys Of The Skaters

[@BlueStarSky369]

So so very sad! Elizabeth Vargas is crass and pushy and I wish someone with more kindness and empathy would have done this interview.

[@vaint2860]

Why is he smiling

[@judyringer3102]

It's so sad that you're not acknowledging other people on the plane nor the military that was in the helicopter!!@@

[@TobeyStarburst]

no it isn't

[@ur_fav_ginger13]

This specific segment was focused on members of the skating club of Boston. There are plenty of other videos you can watch that acknowledge all the victims.

[@serpentserpent9308]

Oh my! Just like David Sakvarelidze, I am very emotional about this. They are blue eye, blonde white Christians.

[@spanmarkiola7260]

American quality isn't what it use to be. It's not just Washington DC and California either.

[@MrsWH-dz6jy]

What a screwy cold-hearted title to this piece "major setback" ?!!

[@patriciatollison8655]

God be with the family members - our prayers for the family's. ❤🙏

[@pokey5736]

Hey Donald, instead of blaming DEI for the crash, which is absurd and a deranged statement, why don't you fly the American flag at half staff. Who lacks common sense?!!!!!

[@RafiJaan-p1w]

One air traffic controller working two positions prior to this crash, and Trump wants qualified people to work, what part of that you can’t understand and saying is wrong?

[@alexcaruso8766]

Biden would have blamed the people who didn't vote for him had he stayed in Office.

[@LINJ638]

@@RafiJaan-p1w Stop making it political. Being ATC is very challenging and he knows that he will go to prison for his inept foolishness. The ATC on the job, not Trump.

Some killers enjoy the notoriety, manipulating media coverage to their advantage. 📺

[@shadow.banned]

What a name, Evgenia, reminds me of Eugenia...

[@shadow.banned]

A lot of homophobia in terms of "skating" I imagine. Probably lots of lost in translation from foreigners when mixing up skating and _skateboarding._

[@3d1stp3rs0n]

Something like this happened already in 1961 to this sports club? This sounds like a curse! Very strange.

[@Pink_143_6]

It’s not a curse! Children perished. Accidents happen. Imagine telling their families their children were cursed. This has hit so hard to those of us in Boston and are/were a part of the skating family.

[@3d1stp3rs0n]

@Pink_143_6 Omg, sorry, I didn't mean to say someone was cursed! It's just a strange and tragic coincidence that it repeated.

[@1ouncebird]

@@3d1stp3rs0n That's life. It's incredibly sad but things like this happen. And just so you'll know........there is no such thing as a curse. Not in the real world.

[@emmacorbett3444]

🥲💔

[@Wtf-eva]

Omg who cares about figure skating. Let’s focus on what’s actually important like all the people that died. Ridiculous headline

[@breadfan9]

We can;t go on without it. It;s the biggest most watched sport in history. (sigh)

[@Wtf-eva]

@ going without it isn’t the point. A little soon for headlines which focus on the figure skating loss while bodies are still being recovered

[@ur_fav_ginger13]

Well the figure skaters were some of the people who died so your comment doesn’t make very much sense

[@ur_fav_ginger13]

@@breadfan9it’s less that “oh we must talk abt skating because it’s so important” and more about the many young lives lost who’s entire lives revolved around skating, so ofc they’re gonna mention it

[@SilviaSáenzMaciel]

So Sad!🙏🇨🇷😢⛸️we are very sorry
