"Praying for the families of the pilots and everyone injured. That flight attendant surviving is nothing short of a miracle."
@DavidDraperEsq said:
"This is a comparatively small plane to even a B-737, is it not? These are basically aluminum tubes."
@MaRyAm_MuKtAr explained:
"This is so horrific I wonder what the people onboard went through."

"@Turbinetraveler If the plane that just happened to be lined up by the tower to land at the time wasn’t this small regional jet but a larger mainline jet like a Triple 7 or even a 75/76 (much higher landing gear and significantly more momentum), the pilots would have been safe."
@IamFidgell shared:
"It looks like the incident is on taxiway B short of E. Had it landed and used the D highspeed, meeting the truck on D?"
@godmachinery added:
"Restraint systems doing exactly what theyre designed to do even in catastrophic failure. Those 5 point harnesses are no joke awful situation but that's good engineering."
@StillTexasMade said:
"A fire truck did that to a plane but you still want me to believe one went all the way through the twin towers."
