  • I noticed that your reporter had a shaky voice like mine. I have spasmodic dysphonia like Senator Robert Kennedy, Jr. ItтАЩs nice to see that he is able to work as a reporter. It is very sad when others criticize a personтАЩs speech pattern. I simply wanted to show my support for this gentleman.тЭд
  • It shook my house and I live in Maryland. Everyone but me went outside to check. It sounded like a bomb but felt like an earthquake.
  • Tragic. A lesson to every pilot who hears of this incident. Never get complacent with your pre-flight, and in-flight responsibilities.
  • This is so tragic. I hope those who parished can be found and laid to rest in peace. My heartfelt condolences to the surviving family members. May their hearts find solace and peace in these trying times.
  • Heartfelt condolences to the family of a beautiful mother and daughter.
  • Used to hear Sonic Booms all the time as a child during the 60's in California. I still love watching military jets fly тЭд Amazing machines!
  • @SaraBellum777
    I live in Staunton and we had no idea this was happening. The plane even went by a local air strip TWICE and did not land. This is very strange ЁЯдФ
  • @michaelt3280
    So Sad. I'm sorry to hear this. My prayers for the FAMILIES.
  • It is strikingly similar to the Helios flight in 2004 and Payne Stewart's crash in 1999. It's usually always a series of events that cause crashes. I wonder if it was maintenance related
  • @Reba-cf5fn
    In Vt., we have sonic booms, several times per day. ItтАЩs hard to imagine that this would startle and frighten people in DC.
  • @jrbland18
    Very sad. Prayers going out to the family.
  • There was an incident like this many years ago which happened with a Boeing 737 it was Helios flight 552 from laranca to Cyprus ..but it crashed somewhere near Athens killing everyone on board ..the cause was due to loss of cabin pressure which caused Hypoxia due to which everyone fainted including the crew and they were also intercepted by Greece airforce but that flight was basically a ghost flight after fuel ran out the plane crashed
  • Why does the reporter sound like heтАЩs tryna talk while holding in a fat bong rip
