Plane crash in DC

[Doc]

Cl.muter flight and military chopper crash.

Yeah, bad one. 60 passengers, 4 crew on the regional AA flight, 3 on the Blackhawk.

Listening now. They actually ate saying they are looking for survivors. Seriously? Crash happened nearly 12 hr ago, into a freezing river. Anybody think they are going to find a "survivor" who is alive and not swam to the shore. So far 30 bodies recovered.

From the unsubstantiated rumors I heard when I got up this morning: they weren't announcing that officially to give them some time to try and notify next of kin, so they didn't have to hear it on the news. By around 5am this morning, they had started announcing it.

I don’t know who said, “never let a good tragedy go to waste” but the sentiment is morally reprehensible. I don’t care who you are, shut up and let people grieve.

Happens every time, doesn't it? People in general are horrible.

And wonderful. But horrible too.

Worst commercial accident in the US this century that I recall. Add any qualifiers you want but the “teams on the plane” nature of the casualties does make it more horrible to me. Air travel so often involves “whole families” or “whole teams” and like Marshall or OK State it’s got an overlay of special horror.

Never mind the mid-air collision resulting in a massive explosion… but they must do their due diligence and search even with a small glimmer of hope.
