I was listening to the scanner. The fire fighters had a heck of a time responding to it. Lots of resources!

I just saw this on reddit, so much political BS happening I didn't see any news info on it.

Such a tragic thing

I saw that news, and it was heartbreaking. Things like that remind you how fragile life is. I do not even like flying again because of all these crash headlines. Sometimes I just pray for the pilot to land safely at my destination..

This was awful to see and my thoughts are with everyone involved in the crash

I read most flights from UPS and another company have now been grounded since the crash.
