1. Yike! That must have been terrifying. Wonder if anyone else survived.

Update: Just heard a news broadcast in the background and everyone survived. Amazing.

Wow!

The other one was in Russia with 226 passengers

6. It's surreal

I mean it feels amazing and great, and at the same time creepy just because two planes went down today...

Amazing piloting skills on display though! So glad everyone survived both!!

9. He should fly in on normal airline. It seems less risky.

10. Bill Elliott and his son Chase fly a private

aircraft, I heard. They have an airstrip in their former hometown of Dawsonville GA. I guess flying into Hartsfield Jackson and driving home takes too long.
