Philadelphia. Praying from you from Indiana. My heart and thoughts and prayers are with you Philadelphia.

I give mayor Cherelle Parker an A+. I give Karen Bass (LA) a zero. Mayor Parker is engaged, demonstrates empathy, and provides specifics that will help her citizens. She is taking charge!

What in the world are people dragging politics into tragedies for? My heart goes out to these people. I don't care who is in the White House, these are human beings that deserve our respect. There will be plenty of time for finger pointing. Now isn't that time.

[@ioanaanaoi8232]

politics made us vulnerable. it is not that we drag politics in it, politics drags us , our lives, our Ioved ones in. You can hide your head in the sand yet more accidents like this will happen until the crazy clown and his billionaires cronies are gone from the oval office.

Many of you commenting may not remember September 11. Something is very wrong that is going on with these planes.

We have plane crashes almost everyday in America but we don't hear about the small ones.
