Speaker 3 (00:12):
Hi, everybody, good morning.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
It's one of those weird things where we were just
having the conversation of you know, what should we talk about?
Like what are we thinking? Anything that we were going
to talk about seems weird with everything that's going on
in DC right now. You know, it's so crazy because
we just had the LA wildfires and all these people
losing their homes and now this morning we're waking up
(00:40):
to the news of this just devastating plane crash in
d c uh I. For some reason, you you know,
you haven't heard what's going on, and American Airlines flight
collided with a US Army Blackhawk helicopter in DC. Picture
it if you haven't seen the video. Basically planes and
landing gear like they're they're on the way down, they
(01:00):
collide with this helicopter. Sixty passengers on the plane, four
crew members, three Army soldiers on board the helicopter and
just watching it, you can't possibly imagine anybody surviving. Plane
goes down into the Potomac River. This happened last night.
(01:22):
I don't know the exact time, do you.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I don't, I'll double check it. It was dark.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
It was dark, So it happens last night. And now
the search and rescue has been going on for the
past few hours, but they're doing it in the pitch dark.
I've never wanted the sun to come up more to
aid these guys because the water's freezing. There's ice everywhere.
It's eight feet deep with just those that condition alone.
(01:50):
Say somebody did survive the actual crash in that water,
you got about ninety minutes to survive because it is
literally that freezing. So as of this moment this morning,
Daily Mail is reporting nineteen fatalities. I can tell you
there's rumor swirling online that we won't have any survivors,
(02:12):
but no survivors have yet to be reported.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
It happened at about nine pm, so there were plenty
of people awake and just watching it too. And like
where the plane comes in, there's tons of apartments there, like,
so I saw it there. Fortunately, people got like a
pharmal view of this thing.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I saw an interview with a guy this morning. His
apartment is all glass, yeah, and he's like I heard
something and I turned and then he was like kind
of just describing what he saw outside of his window.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
It is.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
It's so crazy, because you know, I think Ford said
the best this morning. If you have a fear of flying,
you're you have a fear of the actual plane itself malfunctioning.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
You're not really.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Thinking about collisions and planes crashing into planes and planes
crashing into helicopters. Now, what I can tell you about
this helicopter specifically was it was on a training mission.
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It had three soldiers of board.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
When I hear training mission, I think that somebody flying
and operating that helicopter was learning from the passenger who's
the expert, and they were trying to teach them and
coach them on what the whatever they're supposed to be practicing.
So not an actual professional flying the helicopter. Again, that's
me making the assumption when I hear training mission.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Yes, but in order to fly you have to ask
permission from their traffic right for the first up there
say yes, you have Clarence that come in. Clearly somebody
missed a communication either back and forth. Yeah, that's my assumption.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
I did.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
We do have a little bit from air traffic Control
and like, son, you're better at this than I.
Speaker 3 (03:40):
To try to kind of like make out what they're
saying here, it's apts of the two Washing Star one
Star three teaser and one another.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
You see that, It's like.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Did you see that? And then they start it sounds
like they go into panic mode.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
The second part of that was a guy telling all
the other plans to turn around, go just go around
because something happened. Yeah, and there was another plane coming.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
In coming in, and I also saw another flight leaving
the same time. And with that being said, there are
flights at Logan this morning that are being delayed canceled.
I think the airports are gonna you know, they're going
to see a lot of delays.
Speaker 3 (04:17):
And the whole airport is shut down. Reagan's shut completely
shut down.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
There's another there's another one not too far from there,
so they could probably just divert most of those planes
there to dulls.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
But the again, I have flown into Reagan many times,
and you get this. There is a there's a different
type of feeling flying in there because you can see everything.
You can see the White House, you can see everything.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
And it's close close to you fly right over it too.
But like the fear of flying that this is going
to just unlock with people the next level, bro, because
it's like and it's hard not to think of it.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
It's not it's yeah, And like, I don't know, I
have this weird thing anyway now with having kids, like
flying is things like that are different.
Speaker 3 (04:57):
When you than when you have kids. I don't know,
it just changes something in your brain.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
And I leave in two weeks, I'm getting on a
flight with everybody, with the girls, with my mother, with
the fireman, and I just I don't know, it just
it feels weird and this, this is not normal.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
What happened? This is this is this seems to me
that it was very avoidable. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
I now when it comes to flying, I prefer I
prefer us all to be on the same plane. I
just feel like if anything were to happen, at least
we're together and whatever happens afterwards, like we're here, we
aren't there.
Speaker 3 (05:33):
I understand that. And then I also know that there
are people who.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Won't do that because they slit up their families. Yeah,
but like case in case, Yeah, I understand it all.
But I think at the end of the day, like, hey,
if we're together, then we're happy.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
And like something like this, like you have no control, bro,
you're on the plane. You know your life is in
the pilot's hand and the air controlled towels hands because
again that's the air traffic space out there is what
they really like are known for doing, you know what
I mean. And like Santi said, nobody's allowed just to
just jump in the plane and fly. You got to
get permissioned. They got to know who you are. They
(06:07):
got to know where you're going because they navigate disguise.
So something, something somewhere happened and either I don't know
what happened, but regardless, like this is tragic and for
everybody to have lost their lives, it seems that's sixty
four plus the three. It's crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Just had a thought in my head, why don't we
try to get Neil on?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Oh, yes, Neil used to work here, guys at Kiss
went away, he went by romea I pilot now for
Jet Blue, because just out of curiosity, like I wonder
what that looks like when you're landing, like something like
maybe we can get a little bit more of a
insight on that.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
You get the first hand, because my expertise is from
a simulator, not just embarrassing.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
This is embarrassing. Okay, how about you do this. We'll
play a song. I'll see if I can get Neil
on the phone. Maybe we talked to him a little bit,
maybe get just like a little bit more inside info
and you know kind of what that would look like.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
He could be in the air though, yeah, he could
be flying. We'll see.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
I'll try to contact him and again, and this is
one of those things. I will keep you post at
six one seven, nine, three one nine four five if
anybody has anything to add in. But like we said,
as of right now, nineteen fatalities reported, uh, no survivors
as of yet. And it's it's just absolutely devastating. It's
awful what's happening in DC. Our thoughts and prayers continue
(07:18):
to be there as we keep you updated on all
the coverage.
