Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hi, everybody Happy Thursday. I opened up my phone, obviously,
because that's what I the thing I first do the
second I wake up to the point where I can't
see and it hurts my eyes, and anybody else do that.
But you're just like so pressed. And I saw the

(00:28):
video of the plane crash, and I'm like, wait a second.
You know, you just you're halfway asleep still, so you're
not really understanding what is going on. And then I
started scrolling and I saw it a few more times
and I'm like, oh my god, this is because it
is not it's just not we don't see this.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
We don't see it a lot here, see in other
places that like don't have the technology that the United
States doesn't.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, you know, and I just feel like a lot
of times, you know, you get on a flight and
for the most part, you feel safe. You know, obviously
there's a little like okay, I'm flying, but to know
that they were literally landing, I mean, there are text

(01:13):
messages that were sent from a wife to her husband
saying we're landing, I'll see you soon, like so close.
If you're just waking up, you're just getting in the
car and you're a normal person. You're not trying to
read your phone with your eyes sealed shut. There was
a plane crash in DC writes out of a regular
international and the plane collided with a black Hawk helicopter.

(01:40):
Three Army soldiers in the helicopter, sixty passengers on the plane,
plus the four crew members. They have recovered nineteen bodies
so far. Guys, you got to think about the circumstances
in which they're trying to find bodies rescue people. I mean,
it's freezing, the water is freezing, there's ice in the water.

Speaker 2 (02:06):
It's eight feet deep, it's pitch black.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
So instead of being able to kind of look out
broadly because they have light, they have to look in
every single little crevice. You know, this is one of
those situations where you're just praying for the sun to
come up, praying. And I know a lot of people
obviously who had family members on that flight are are
keeping hope alive. But there are rumors right now everywhere

(02:30):
that yes, nineteen bodies have been recovered, but that it's
going to turn into a rescue mission and we will
most likely have lost all sixty seven.

Speaker 2 (02:39):
I mean, I feel like planes are one of the
biggest like fear, anxiety, things like just to happen, and
then this happens down and people start thinking about it,
like it's really like you have no control and it's scary.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
I was thinking about that for people who was afraid
of flying. A lot of times you're afraid of flying
that the plane is gonna malfunction. Oh yeah, not that
you're gonna into another plane. Yeah, you just open up
a home new fear. Now for people who are just like, hell, no,
I ain't flying. Like now, y'all can't even control the
skies because somebody messed up somehow, someone the helicopter.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
I'll tell you that the helicopter messed up that plane.

Speaker 2 (03:11):
There's usually there's a control.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Those people are very very strict about how they operate
in anything like that.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
Like actually with landing, they're kind of in cruise control.
It's the same thing every single time.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
The other thing with DC, that airspace is so tightly controlled,
like down to like feet just because like the President,
White House like all this stuff. So somebody messed up.

Speaker 3 (03:35):
Somebody messed up. Somebody in that control tabel gave either
either wasn't paying attention or something happened. Because planes are
not just flying in the sky just to fly.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
No, But but also keep in mind the helicopter was
on a training mission, so they're they're they're training, which
means they're not professional. They haven't done it yet. They're learning,
but they still should be one on there. That is,
they still have a flight plan though. Yeah. But I know,
but if somebody else is training and they don't know,
you know, well, I don't know, we're gonna find out.

Speaker 2 (04:04):
But I was in a plane one time and there
was smoking the cabin and we had to land like
really fast. It was very scary. I can't even imagine
if like the situation of hitting something and just the
like the all like all of a sudden, you're just plummeting.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
It's scary.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
It's scary. It's so sad. I have to get on
a plane in two weeks, so now I'm then that happens,
by the way, with the entire family. Yeah, and you know,
it's just I don't know, it's it's scary and it's sad,
and it and it does like again, you're right, I
would say, more so I get on the plane and
if there's a little bit of shaking, you have that

(04:40):
that second, you know, that thought in your head. We're like,
what the but yeah, you're certainly not thinking I'm gonna
crash into something, maybe a bird.

Speaker 2 (04:47):
My wife has a fear of flying, and like it's
not gonna help, No, not at all. She started taking
pills for it, like on the flight this like last flight,
it was bumping and all of a sudden she's fine.
I'm like, are you okay? Like you're like yeah, like
all is good. I'm like, wow, yeah, No.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Fear flying is a big one and this is not
going to help a lot of people. And this is
one of those stories that we're going to continue to
learn more as the day goes on. Who was on
that flight, who are their family members, what are their stories.
It's just gonna be heartbreaking. So as we learn, you
will learn. I can't say it enough. We are just

(05:24):
praying for the sun to come up in DC to
try to help this rescue mission out. Good morning, everybody.
