So glad everyone is ok!🙏
Lots has been going around first your helicopter in LA. RIP to the good men and women we lost in helicopter and bus crash. However was not expecting a third devastating crash in the span of a day. What is going on with all these mechanical failures and bad timing of drunk drivers.
Thanks God nobody got hurt 🙏
Iran shot it down with a drone
Were there geese up that high in this area near this hazmat issue in MI?

What's next! People start biting & eating each other?! I wouldn't be surprised….
It sounded like WEEEEEEEEEE
See how they keep trying to tell us how this happens! That's weird
Foolish to be near the downed fighter. There is seriously toxic chemicals, in particular, hydrazine, contained within the aircraft’s remains and the smoke is full of them.
Another one.
Is this an older video, as I saw a video about this about 3 weeks ago. Or is this a new event?
Female?
