This is terrible

No

No

No

You have to ask, is it worth it to fly patients in airplanes? If this person was transported on the ground nobody would be dead, except maybe the patient, but we'll never know. If you look at air crashes, most people that die are in small planes. Big Jets don't crash that much.

The vaccine crashed the plane

tragic horror

Why is ABC reporting on this? What about the devastation in Hawkes Bay, NZ? Hundreds if not thousands dead. Up to 60% of Nz’s food bowl destroyed. Crickets from MSM!

At this point they’re just tryna see how much it takes to make us cry

My prayers and Condolences to all the Families please RIP

Jesus is lord and savior ! As it stated in his words the lord comforts the broken-hearted . May u seek his face even harder now in the times of trouble . Don’t allow Satan to allow u to forget who God is and what he can do

There's an actual blizzard impacting the area this weekend. That small plane shouldn't have been up in those conditions. Roads have been closed w/conditions exceeding hazardous; whiteout visibility and strong winds. If they wouldn't let us drive in it, why would we fly in it!

OMG....God be with them

🥺🙏

I wonder if they were vaccinated 🥴

Yes...pass it

What is that, the 20th plane crash this year especially small planes. This hasn't been talked about at all 🤦🤦🤦 whatshappening truth

Our prayers are with the families.

Terrible. Good God...

Omg! I. So sorry to hear that. May the Lord grant their loved peace and comfort.

My heart and prayers go out to all the families.

Was this the same plane that was headed to Ohio and leaving an airport named after the Clintons. That were on the way to test the Ohio river?
