Can we do anything right

[bots]

the old saying .... these things come in 3's

[Ammi]

….awww, the plane was on a medical mission and transporting a child…6 people on board including the child…The female child was being accompanied by her mother, a pilot, a copilot, a doctor and a paramedic and was being sponsored by a charity in her treatment…

[Ammi]

…horrendously tragic, I don’t know if anyone on the ground was hurt also…

[bots]

…horrendously tragic, I don’t know if anyone on the ground was hurt also…

given the damage on the ground, i think its inevitable

[Ammi]

Can we do anything right

…yes of course, these things happen though and sometimes they happen close together and it’s just how it is….its not a ‘country’ thing and much more specific to individual failures and not a reflection on a nation…

[Ammi]

given the damage on the ground, i think its inevitable

…I mean, it happened just a few blocks from the mall and it’s thank the Lord that it didn’t crash into the mall as the death loss would be much more, I think…

[Ammi]

…the child was being transported back home after her sponsored life saving medical treatment…heart breaking…

The aircraft disappeared from radar seconds before crashing and went down about forty seconds after taking off from Northeast Philadelphia airport, less than 3 miles (4.8 km) away after climbing to 1,650 feet (500 m). The last received data from the aircraft shown by Flightradar24 reported the Learjet's altitude at 1,275 feet (389 m) and an increasing speed of 242 knots (448 km/h; 278 mph). [10][18] The aircraft descended at a rate of around 11,000 feet per minute (3,400 m/min).[18] A Ring doorbell camera filmed the airplane "falling out of the sky" and producing a large explosion that produced heavy plumes of smoke. WTXF-TV coverage showed a large debris field and several active fires.



the weather at the time of the crash

the presence of light rain, overcast and foggy conditions, and a 30 mph (48 km/h) wind gust recorded just prior to 6 p.m. in Philadelphia.

It's OK to talk a little bit of crap. It's just the timing of it all

[Ammi]

What a tragedy, and so soon after the other crash

[Ammi]

…a more tragic and cruel story couldn’t have been written ….a young girl being flown back home after having been sponsored for medical treatment and the flight crashes, leaving no survivors plus killing more on the ground…so, so sad…

Yes. Every day we have on this planet is a blessing. We can't take it for granted, that's for sure.

[Ammi]

…absolutely, so many events and circumstance etc brings me back to recall that ‘we’ll see’ proverb/story…to be getting that treatment, to have had it financed etc would have felt like such a blessing and then for it all to have taken place and be homeward journey…?….it’s just heartbreakingly cruel…
