RIP. Nothing but respect for this kind of people. Sad to see when people like this go away, they are the glue in society and someone young kids look up to.

Prayers for all these and their families. 💝🙏

That's sad. Well from the video, it can be seen that the pilot did his best to get back to the airport but when the tailrotor fails, there is not much else a pilot can do.

Truly tragic, thoughts and prayers for the victims.

My condolences to Terry's family. A true humanitarian caring about others knowing he was going to probably die 😢❤

He was a lot more than a rock star, he did something useful.

What was the reason of engine failure ?

[شهابابو-شس]

The pilot can be in safe but he tries to be a hero

Quality american engineering as usual.

Should maybe have landed immediately and saved everybody including folks on the ground, it was a helicopter after all and can land almost anywhere

A 5 star sheriff huh?? He needs to chill with that star rank bs.

Aboard the plane it’s a helicopter! Man how y’all get these jobs

[longsleevethong]

The woman on the ground was black so they’re possibly looking at charging the pilot with a hate crime.

There has been a lot of craziness in DeSantis state as of late. Coincidence 🤔
I think not 👹👹👹
