This morning. Tragedy in the light of day.

All in the plane were Mexican nationals. I'm not sure how the process of coming from out of country to receive medical care typically goes and if it's customary to not have a local with the party to accompany them in their travels and stuff.

We also don't know if the plane that crashed was the same plane they arrived in the area with as of yet.

Sad stuff. I bet it was multiple bird strikes killing the engines it would explain why it's on fire coming down in a stall.

Would this genius theory also explain the loud engines as it descended out of the clouds on camera and why its groundspeed as indicated by ADS-B data was over twice the stall speed?

We shall see.

I'm not one to point fingers but it was only flying because of Mexicans

Do we know if the birds were Mexican? I feel like that's important to know.

No idea what caused this. That plane came down like a missile.
Pilot disorientation?

God man this just sucks. First DC and now this. And apparently the mother and child were being transported out of a hospital after she was treated with a life threatening illness. She went through so much to save her child and then this happens. This whole story is just so fucking sad, and that goes for the helicopter/plane crash in DC too.

Probably the most likely explanation at this point.

The mayor said there could be debris for 3 miles. I was up that way yesterday but avoided the boulevard.

Some people think it was a bird strike but holy hell this super sad.

This hit me so hard. RIP to those that lost their lives in this tragedy. It's been a dark few days for the aviation industry.
