Glad we didn't have flying car. Just imagine the insurance cost.

FYI: Helicopters do not have propellers, they have a "Rotor" aka a rotary blade.

[Stablemable]

So sad and shocking.
Coincidentally, I actually was watched a documentary on the Space Shuttle Columbia on YouTube, a day before this tragedy.

[Pumpmaster-]

Why is everyone crashing now? Ever since those aliens started showing up.

Choppers don't usually fall apart without warning that way

america has some serious problems.. it should be concerning to the citizens.. this is either stupidity at work or a total lack of professionalism and caring.. these aircraft are supposed to be inspected before and after every flight. how does this happen ? no-one saw there were issues with this? id find it hard to miss.. this is a problem as Murica just had a flight crash in Toronto not long ago from a bum landing then when Trump was elected the chopper and plane collided .. but it just brought me back to those boeing accidents where a safety feature was intentionally left of a plane and would onyl be put on for extra costs.. this is the kind of evil that exists in USa and if i were an American id be very concerned about this.. someone putting your life at risk over a few extra bucks.. shows how little they care about you.. this is sickening to say the least and i wouldnt want to be an American in such times or wiht such people in high positions who control such situations.. sad really.. cant trust anybody..imagine havign a guy in charge of your safety but refuses to put what should be mandatory saftey features on a plane becasue he wants to milk or make an extra buck.. this to me is pure evil

Nah propeller is one thing but the tail just doesn’t “fall off” it had to have been sabotaged for what reason? Idk

[missmusicalpsychic]

Y'all have to start putting warnings

[FreedomaireHappylife]

Scary man just makes me no want to fly, I'm staying on ground from now on no more going far off if the state isn't close to my state to where I can drive I take my chances on the road where I know I'm going to be safe because I don't drive 80-100mph like a lot of people be doing and I'm always fully aware of the vehicles around me I don't care if it takes me an hour to get to a destination that only takes 30 minutes I'm going to drive at 45mph in the slow lane I'm not in the rush for nothing anymore I'm taking my time.

It’s sad but weakening the FAA and riffing employees across the board can have a devastating effect when airplanes and helicopters are flying around in the air and trying not to hit each other or crash.
