[@mcg1383]

Thank you for including the Filipino cop who was there on Business Trip. May they all rest in peace. And may their families be covered with love and compassion in this time of grief and as they navigate new life without their love ones.

[@AngelinLimchaypo]

Prayers

[@topdiy707]

My condolences to the families of the victims of the plane crash.

[@kevinmcshea6373]

Why do we almost all the time want to blame someone? If it's an accident then that's what it is.

[@Ray_Burrows]

Your newscaster in Philadelphia is calling the devastation "Action" as if it's a movie or something. Heartless broadcasting!!!

[@faithfarah8320]

No helicopters should be in that air space where passenger planes are. Not only for the passengers safety but also so that air traffic controllers can focus soley on passenger planes because those planes and choppers have different guidelines and different capabilities, its insane they allowed military choppers to cross thru airport air traffic

[@offgrid-goo-roo]

A-A was on final glide slope at all altitudes. No helicopters at any altitude.

[@cherylrosalis1948]

They transport government officials every day.

[@cherylrosalis1948]

ABC and CBS both said it was a medical transport Learjet. It was headed to Springfield, MO.

[@documax123]

A bad week for aviation.

[@ZahraAjang]

My prayers for everyone involved❤

[@mrsr003]

I heard there were six people onboard the plane. 2 pilots, a first responder, a doctor, a pediatric patient and their mother.

Why small plane crash

[@DarronSanderson]

2025 is starting out rocky.

[@cindymaceda6770]

Year of the Snake.

[@DarronSanderson]

@ absolutely 🙆🏽‍♂️

[@janetsims180]

Rocky would be an understatement. Chaotic is a better way to describe it.

[@DarronSanderson]

@janetsims180 well said

[@finnappleyard]

Pretty disrespectful NBC showing the footage of the crash over and over. I bet the families appreciate reliving that moment.

[@RefuseWickedness]

✝️R.I.P.✝️

[@DavidMiller-kf1ss]

Prayers.😢

[@geraldineyoung1364]

Thanks for the New 👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@jayrodd]

This station needs to get it together. So unprofessional

[@reganung8997]

💔💔💔❤‍🩹❤‍🩹❤‍🩹🖤🙏🙏🙏😭We pray for them . 🙏🙏🙏😭😭😭

[@dlc2112dlc]

The reporter should say that all of the people walking around are dead and doesn't understand why they are walking around....

[@AliceHLin-l7j]

Our holy God please protects our country for we know "Unless the Lord watches over the city, the guards stand watch in vain." (Psalms 127:1), In Jesus Christ mighty name Amen

[@robertnewhart3547]

Don't be silly, the tooth fairy will set you free! You must have faith and spread the disease. I mean word.

[@PINK-69]

Tuhan mu lagi tidur..😂😂🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@PoorBoyPennyShow]

in their name i pray

[@serendra90210]

Tom needs to stop interrupting guests while they're talking. It appears to be rude and does not reflect well on Tom's personality.

[@FarahNaz-cz4jz]

Reports

[@PINK-69]

Kembang api yang sangat indah. bagai mana rasanya kehilangan orang yang di cintai. Selamat anda sekarang merasakannya.🎉🎉🎉🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸

[@offgrid-goo-roo]

A-A was on final glide slope at all altitudes. No helicopters at any altitude.

[@dlc2112dlc]

That explosion sound sees like a guy talking....hmmmm

[@hectorkhing4689]

Another airplane crash that's crazy makes me not want to travel to California in April

[@merlinayasona2712]

Yes. There's a fortune teller told that this year will have airplane disasters...and it's happening now..

[@IndyandJazmin]

Please don't let this affect your plans, because it's still far more likely for one to lose their life in almost any other mode of transportation, especially automobiles...

[@tvdinner325]

The Felon's FAA cuts will only get worse!

[@rosewillis6135]

Choose faith over fear. Live yoúr life tomorrow is not promised.❤

[@trainman1209]

And just the day before... a jet did a go-around because it almost hit another helicopter!

[@jeffbeatty8595]

Just like that story is important

[@gregoryfuzi4745]

Can't tell if it was on fire or the lights were on for takeoff and landing.

[@Mutanttaint]

Lights

[@js6728]

turkish coffee though, feel like im going to poop out my heart, its very strong... you havent yet... 👍

[@S6xT2]

Did you just say we don’t we didn’t know where the plane was coming from? This is almost laughable.

[@judil3294]

That was strange to hear after earlier hearing it given clearance to take off etc.

[@khosrofazley5749]

There was no visiblelty broadcast

[@foxylaurent2916]

Let me guess Trump is going to blame dei again

[@tvdinner325]

Of course!

[@dlc2112dlc]

These news people are ridiculous with the things they say.

[@ell97918]

Trump has no idea what he is talking about.

[@ericmoldero]

This was a very amateurish news report guys very bad quality very poor production

[@merlinayasona2712]

Fortune tellers said that this year 2025 there will have lots of airplane disasters ...i believe that bad vision will not happen through prayers ... let's pray and be prayerful 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@robertnewhart3547]

Yes, tithe (buy candles) the angry fortune tellers.

[@KnJNnH]

what do you expect with trump destroying all federal work and workers, and bringing in liars and clowns and freaks to run the country? And it will simply continue to get worse every single day that mad and insane loon stays in the white house with his clown bus over filled with clowns running his circus!

[@dlc2112dlc]

NTSB Will get back to us in about 18 months... sheesh

[@S6xT2]

God bless the people that died where all the action was maybe you should read definitions of a word before you use them

[@dlc2112dlc]

Countless others turns out to be easily counted. The news needs get with the Truth and stop sensationalism.

[@TINA-k8f]

We need more air traffic controllers and supervisors on board during millitary training exercises & Why were more than half of T.S.A.agents laid off?

[@cherylrosalis1948]

I would rather have Tom Llamas do the talking...

[@andrewmcgauley9181]

That was a big explosion for a small plane

[@cherylrosalis1948]

It was a fully fueled Lear Jet.

[@andrewmcgauley9181]

@cherylrosalis1948 how many souls onboard, do you know ?

[@kathrynbeecher2963]

That was not the sound of a small plane

[@BigBlueJake]

High-performance business jet. Anything smaller than the average airliner (Boeing 737/Airbus 320) gets called a small plane.

[@dilawor10]

Hope everyone and everything is OK

[@S6xT2]

What did Drake say if they ain’t got a story? They gonna make one?

[@Inothetruth]

🤔🫢🤫😟😢😯

[@S6xT2]

Planes crash all the time why are we focused on them now?

[@undergroundgettingheard8472]

They said the 9/11 planes were small at first too

[@patriciayoung3267]

It was a Lear Jet. That is not small.

[@S6xT2]

Yeah and never again in history has commercial 757 flights took off with 46 56 and 84 passengers on each plane like these commercial 757 flight. Never have never in history now all of a sudden We only a quarter full not even never never again happen in history that’s weird. 9/11 planes passengers

[@S6xT2]

Yeah and never again in history has commercial 757 flights took off with 46 56 and 84 passengers on each plane like these commercial 757 is disposable. We only a quarter full not even never never again happen in history that’s weird.

[@TINA-k8f]

Imagine if we could build flying aircraft as well as we build the black box

[@myrnaa8082]

🙏🏾

[@Codye-cf6ip]

Take this depressing show off and bring on NBC Today Show 3rd Hour instead. Jenna show used to re air before Llamas show. Forget that snoozefest Jenna has going on. Enough hard news programs on already. 3rd Hour Today Show is informative and fun.

[@nadavyair99]

This guy who is being interviewed is full of ," it depends", an investigator Myst begin his investigation as worst scenario! Which is , heavey traffic, understaffed, communications sub standard and visually impeded.

[@markray6097]

We are under attack within!

[@tvdinner325]

The Felon's FAA cuts will only get worse!

[@robertnewhart3547]

Clowns with that keyboard noise. Unreal. What decade are you in?

[@Eyota567]

Maybe they should stop cloud seating

[@chrisjames_2025]

Breaking? This happened two days ago. two-thpussnd LATE

[@earthcoloredeyes5043]

Air traffic controllers have the most stressful job in the world. They have a high rate of SI and alcoholism.

[@darrylb77]

Thanks Trump

[@KellieParrish]

I side with the helicopter....he tried to assend as normal and to avoid much to much demanded air traffic....

[@KellieParrish]

Military vs celebrity.....make it work .... nerrrrrrrrr

[@dlc2112dlc]

These people just need to shut up and not report anything else. They are stupid and are making ridiculous statements

[@johnglenn5186]

That's side way's, you don't like people do you.

[@marcellejacob5516]

Something not adding up set up

[@Trump-rv4nz]

No report on illegal alien crime?

[@Ichitogy]

U mean driving while native?

[@Trump-rv4nz]

@ huh

[@andrewmcgauley9181]

​@@Trump-rv4nz😂😂😂😂huh

[@EVILONE021377]

The fuzzy haired guy was making all kinds of excuses against what we see in the video

[@ourseaviewfarm1787]

AI needs to take on some of the air traffic controllers jobs

[@Garrett-m7s]

Media always trying to downplay things....

[@S6xT2]

What did Drake say if they ain’t got a story? They gonna make one?

[@S6xT2]
