…devastating…it’s reporting 175 passengers on board and ‘almost all killed’ so yeah ‘at least’ 124…and maybe many going home from Christmas family visits…so close to completing landing, it always feels a safer time but for this flight, just catastrophic…and weather conditions can be very unpredictable also…

Terrible news. I'm really sorry this happened.

Terrible
so many dead.

…some reports are now saying 151 killed…it feels as though all on board are presumed dead but not yet confirmed…

That's horrible.

Having watched the video i cant see how anyone survives

If I’m ever in a plane crash scenario I’m getting out of my seat and going as far to the back of the plane as possible, given these past two crashes

Far better Tweet
Shows it crashing into the Wall
No landing gear working
and going too fast

Horrific

yes but I posted the tweet to illustrate what looks like a bird strike that caused the fatal crash

Yes Up High The Engine was hit by Birds
the start of the 2mins of hell


Fair Point LT.

Absolutely horrendous and so close to the holidays. Didn't know sitting at the back was safer. I'll keep that in mind next time I fly.

Yes a chance at the tail end

collision with birds doesn't destroy the landing gear though
