    It just seems unlikely there are survivors. Terrible.

    This is terrible.

    I’m old enough to remember the one in 1982. I lived a few miles away.

    This really is just ****ing awful

    Apparently the helicopter flew directly into the plane's path. This was intentional.

    Someone was about to release the Epstein files. I'd be curious to see who was on that plane.

    It was a hit. About as accidental as Epstein hanging himself.

    I haven’t seen anyone else say anything about survivors. I saw a report that four victims were taken to the airport.

    It doesn't excuse why you would fly a blackhawk directly into a plane. 100% intentional.

    Sad. Good people likely lost today. They share the same air space and must communicate with the tower, but use a different radio band than the civilians.

    i'd like to think that this incident happened to prevent a much larger catastrophe. we will know in about 10-15 years when someone makes a movie about this probably.

    Absolutely crazy.

    Not jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon (just yet, since I know nothing) - but my immediate thought when my parents messaged me about this happening and if I'd heard, considering I'd just moved to DC - was how does this happen considering all the stringent checks that go through to get a plane off the ground, in addition to the professionalism/experience of all pilots involved (again, if not intentional).
