So once again the GOVERNMENT KNOWINGLY KILLS CIVILIANS THROUGH DELIBERATE AND MALICIOUS CARELESSNESS!! 😢😢😢😢😢
🙏🏽Prayers to all!!
❤
The most preventable tragedy there’s been.
I watched all of the coverage live, right after it crashed.
I was thinking of all the loved ones that didn’t know or were just finding out that their loved ones had just died.
They were so close to being home. So close.
These are some very strong women.
Yes, very sad for all these women and their families. However, the introduction said the plane collided with the helicopter. The plane was where it was supposed to be. The helicopter collided with the plane. The cause of the crash was helicopter.
Not me tearing up with these wives 🥺I’m so sorry for your loss that’s horrible 😢🥺 May they rest in peace 🙏
All them wives are like family members its say your government can't even hire enough people at airports government greed..
What was the cause of the wreck, does anyone knows? Why did it fall into the river?
Very sad
I hope the lone woman without a family is able to be a new aunt to all those now without fathers. Life brings us family we never knew we had when we go through trials we never through we'd need to conquer.
If only all 14 of them didn't vote for the guy who cut FAA funding. Voting matters 🙂
All because people don’t do their jobs correctly and not paying attention to details. How it affects the lives of others.
I do know how deep grief feels. These poor women live a new reality that is largely unbearable.
My condolences to all of the bereaved. Tragic
I am so sorry for your loss. My heart breaks for all those who lost their lives. Thank you for telling us their stories and how great of a person each of these people were 💔
And what makes thus tragedy so much worse is the reason for the crash is that DEI helicopter pilot purposely flew into the jet did it on purpose, something the U.S. government had tried to bury since the day it happened.
😢
God Bless all of you! Brad from Calvert.
bless you and your families. so sorry
This crash was never investigated properly and weirdly swept under the rug never to be discussed again. These ladies deserve to know what really happened and so does the rest of the world, but we may never know the truth. Sad! My heart goes out to these ladies. May your husbands rest in peace and may God comfort you and yours in your grief.
I wonder if Biden and Buttidgeg watched this? If not, I hope they do.
you guys must be running out of video ideas
😢rip❤
