Firefighters are so unappreciated for some of the crazier rescues they do.

[rebeccalowe-hodges]

Oh my gosh. These poor people and these relentless tornadoes . God Bless

[sookie_the_fairy]

KEEP YOUR SEATBELT ON WHEN YOU FLY.. IT CAN HIT AT ANYTIME.. 😮 ✈

[uidqxbu]

prayer for all of the people on the plane today

[badmonkey]

Props to the Thai people for their humility and kindness and helping people from many different controls and for their fantastic response to the plane emergency

[janet]

Anyone else find it weird that 5 people are all found with ammo in same place 🤨

[dtfg-]

Great job Firefighters! So glad Fay is okay, sweet dog! 💕❤️🐶

[pnslxex]

Firefighters get all the props God bless all firefighters

[jampasurprenant]

Thank you David Muir for the latest news around the world.

[rebeccalowe-hodges]

how in the HELL do you NOT know you have AMMO in your luggage ???

[merrygangemi]

Why did they have ammunition in their luggage? How do not know you have ammo in their luggage?

[oxpnuhk]

During turbulence doesn’t the pilot usually tell everyone to make sure they fastened their seatbelts? So very sad.

[lisavillegas]

Thanks David and team. Great reporting but sad for man who died. Tornado don't seem to let up. Your in my prayers.❤

[paulopheim]

Please everyone, if seated, there is NO excuse not to have one's seat belt fastened. Having owned a tour company, I repeatedly stressed this to travelers, and sadly I still have to. That said, it is truly tragic what happened.

[FurthermoreJack]

Yeah, don't let some Youtuber buy Graceland and turn it into a hotdog please

[evolvelearnapply]

More importantly…how did they get through TSA here in the U.S.?

[darondatoole]

Accolades to the pilot for a safe landing.

[elelectrotech]

turbulence at 37 k feet is not common.

[davedotson]

I think the us government needs to step up and claim responsibility for the people facing charges for the loose ammunition in their luggage. Their bags should have never gotten past our own security screens.

[Itsmarkyoung]

A good reminder to ALWAYS keep your seatbelt fastened when seated and only get up for the bathroom if you must
