OK...

Before people start panicking, here's a few thoughts:

1. Both incidents are tragedies. The loss of life is heartbreaking and I can only imagine what the families are going through. Whether a thousand people die or one, death is a crucible that levels the playing field and matters just as much either way.

2. This is not the first time multiple plane crashes have occurred in the same year. See PenAir Flight 3296 and the 2019 Alaska mid-air collision, both in 2019. I'm sure there are others, but I included a recent one for relevance. This shows that plane crashes occur regardless of who is president.

3. The Potomac collision was a commercial airliner and Black Hawk with a total of 67 confirmed or probable casualties. The likely craft at fault was the Black Hawk, which narrows the error down to the crew of three on the helicopter, since the passenger plane has right of way and had made no errors, as far as we know.

The Philedelphia collision was a medical transport carrying 6 people, including a Hispanic mother and her child that had just received lifesaving treatment at Shriner's. (Note: the treatment was paid for a third party. I add this comment to clarify for those who would use that information to make remarks about "illegals burdening the system", so that they understand that doesn't apply in this case).

That said, while acknowledging that both are tragedies, it's not unheard of for multiple plane crashes to occur in the same year. It cannot be used to claim that flying has become less safe over time. In fact, given the increase in commercial and private air traffic over the past 80 years, it has actually become more safe since its conception.

Anyway, those are some of my thoughts on it. Hopefully this is reassuring to someone. :)

This is why we must always pray to our God Jehovah. We never know when will it be our last time on this planet. I know secular people will laugh at me. But please always pray before boarding a plane. God Jehovah protect us all. Someone did witch craft and sorcery to the pilot and cause the plane to fall. The spiritual world is real. I know people will not believe me.

Aviation analysts estimate that there are about 16,000 airplanes worldwide in the air at any given time of day. This traffic consists of passenger, cargo, military, and general aviation aircraft. That works out to a little less than half a million planes in the air each month, many of them carrying only a few people. The number of plane accidents over the last month has been very small in America. So, though the loss of any life is tragic, the number of people hurt in the accidents the past months does not begin to compare with the loss of life in just car accidents alone. So you are in a lot more danger driving a car than taking a plane trip.

Awful to hear about, and of course my heart goes out to (not in that Elon way😱) everyone harmed or affected.

So at what point do we get to dub Trump “The Plane Crash President?” Remember MAGA rules still apply and it’s only right that we approach this like this would’ve been approached if it had been Joe Biden at the helm.

Nickname actually works well on a metaphorical level….

exitseven · Answer

I saw this last night and wondered how long it will take before President Trump is blamed for this.

President Trump is not a magician. Biden had 4 years to completely screw up this country from the inside out. Trump is supposed to fix it in a week or so?

He is doing the hard work to fix everything.

MisterWack · Answer

I don’t know what exactly happened though all I do know is 6 people on board were killed from the crash and 1 from inside their car…. Rest In Peace to all the victims and send my thoughts & prayers to the families, friends and loved ones affected by this tragedy.

Was another Black Hawk involved? It wouldn't surprise me.  Where are the superior White Hawks?

Lliam · Answer

Seems like catastrophic mechanical failure. I guess we'll find out upon further investigation. My heart goes out to those in the plane and on the ground.

Finchie40 · Answer

I think planes aren’t safe , why I barely fly in them unless I really have to, but I try to stay away from them as much as possible , Final Destination gave me PTSD lol

molonski2 · Answer

This is too much , there must be some kind of Sabotage , this cannot be simply chance? Something is happening and its something huge , a massive worry all this.

MikeRJ · Answer

I wish people could just be human and express their condolences instead of posturing to puff up their political side. (i. e., leave the names "Trump," "Biden" or the acronym "DEI" out of responses).

wtf is this year is shit just being reported more now on a wide scale or something

genericname85 · Answer

plane crashes happen pretty much every day not commercial ones but the smaller private ones. i wonder why suddenly this makes national news.

red324 · Answer

It actually happens fairly often. Usually it's little cesnas though. Every plane crash is going to be brought to light now after that thing with the helicopter until something else grasps everyone's attention.

I see the partisan assholes are already running their mouths. This is a terrible tragedy. From the footage I've seen it looks like something catastrophic happened on board this plane.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

With all the plane crashes and other plane incidents that have been happening lately, I'm not surprised. I'm starting to think this is some kind of deliberate sabotage

Yabbut · Answer

They're saying it was a medical transport. Just terrible.

Very sad. At least this one can't be blamed on DEI, since Mexico does not have DEI policies.
