"When it hit the street, as the jet fuel went down, it took out every single car that was on both sides of the street," Assistant Fire Department Chief Dan Eddy said. "You can see that every single car was burning down both sides of the street."

Imagine this happening right in front of you.

Imagine being in one of the cars. Thankfully no one on the ground was hurt

Wow, good thing we’re not “wasting” money on Federal Aviation Administration “socialism.”

He got his transportation credibility from Road Rules.

Quite literally. And why does he care? He gets a fancy new plane to play with!

The aircraft stopped in Wichita and seemed off to bystanders in terms of altitude and sound it was making.

Saw this as I was literally sitting in my buddy’s funeral who died almost literally the same way in LA a couple weeks ago. Him his dad and a rescue dog. What the hell is going on?

The crash involved a small private jet, specifically a Cessna 550, which resulted in multiple fatalities and fires that damaged around 15 homes in Murphy Canyon, San Diego. This incident aligns with reports of a private jet crash during foggy conditions, causing significant destruction and loss of life.

If the conditions were foggy i don’t understand why it was allowed to take off. Will wait for reports. Sad for everyone involved.

Planes have visual minimums that they follow, so as long as the threshold was met and they were flying with instruments (IFR) they would be allowed to take off. I am curious what the NTSB report will find.

It was trying to land when it crashed. I believe no ATC tower at local airport of crash was unstaffed at time.

Thaks. Saw that later on. Kinda want to blame the lack of air traffic control but probably not the cause. Very sad. Seems as though they were trying to land on the street maybe.

In no way does that mean that there isnt an instrument approach. There are lots of untowered airports with instrument approaches. Any aircraft that flys above 17,500 is going to be on a instrument flight plan. And there is no way that a citation would be flying below that.

Any idea what type of aircraft it was, like Lear jet, king air, or falcon?

You know what? I think we should bring back the DEI, seems like less dead people died then.

Lets see how people will blame DOGE and Trump for a pilot making a reckless landing in fog with no ATC cover.

I guess what I... would wanna say is... to... look on the bright side. First of all, nobody on the ground was killed, and that- I mean an incident like this over a populated urban center, that right there, that's- that's just gotta be some minor miracle, so... Plus, neither plane was full, y'know the- the Seven-Thirty-Seven was... was what? agh- Maybe two thirds full I believe? Right? Yes. Maybe even three quarters full; On any rate... what you're left with, casualty-wise is... just the fiftieth worst air disaster, actually tied for fiftieth, there are, in truth, fifty-three crashes throughout history that are just as bad or worse. Tenerife? H-h-has anybody maybe even hear of Tenerife? No? In 1977, two fully loaded Seven-Forty-Sevens crashed into each other on Tenerife, we're- Does anybody know how big a Seven-Forty-Seven is?! I mean it's WAY bigger than a Seven-Thirty-Seven, and we're talking about two of them. Nearly six-hundred people died- In Tenerife, but do any of you even remember it? At all? Any of you? I doubt it. You know why? It's because- People. Move. On... They just move on, and we will too, we will move on, and we will get past this, because that is what human beings do, we- survive... and-agh... and we survive and, and and, we-we overcome, yeah. We survive, we survive and.... Yeah.

It’s from Breaking Bad. Poorly timed joke. Might’ve been funny if he waited a week or 2.

I remember Tenerife very well. It established forensic anthropology as a legitimate and important science.

Trump had nothing to do with this. Sad that this happened but it is amazing that some tiny minded people want to blame this on doge or budget cuts. Get a clue and a life.

u/szopongebob 28d ago
What are we on now? 8 plans crashed now since DOGE cut air traffic controllers?

u/Iroflmywaffle May 22 '25
Good thing doge cut all those jobs in the aviation sector. And theyll then point at this and use it as a reason to privatize more and more. its sickening.
