    Why would anybody go onto those flying coffins?
  • @alexalex13131
    Unlike a car one mistake by a pilot can be the end. And everyone makes mistakes.
  • @kgraham5820
    Whole families shouldn’t fly together for reasons just like this one. RIP.
  • @mikah4051
    Fly if you must but leave your family at home where they are safe. This is probably the 5th time or 6th time this year where entire families were wiped out because of the incompetencies of the husband pilot. Rarely is the airplane at fault.
  • This is so sad. I still have flashbacks of a you woman who grew up with my kids. She, her son, her sister's son and the pilot went down in a lake after a down burst of air knocked thdm out of the sky and they went down in a lake. It took a couple of days to get to them bc the lake was very deep and weather conditions weren't good. Losing an entire family is devastating. My heart goes out to the extended family and close friends. Praying 🙏

  • Single engine are dangerous with 5 people eat fuel fast with weight .
  • In 2020, 1,007 small private plane crashes were reported in the U.S. That's just in one year.

    Ik the 2 kids and the mom RIP🕊️🕊️🕊️
  • Seems to be one of these every other day, I'll stick to multimillion dollar airliners and still don't trust them either, and for gods sake people put some parachutes in your planes, it's the law for life jackets on boats so this shouldn't be any different.
