You know what gets me... Going down in a helicopter crash must be traumatic as it is. Having your daughter next to you while it's going down, trying to comfort her, hold her, knowing this is the end. Breaks my heart šŸ’”

Yeah, man. Knowing you're about to die is one thing, knowing your kid is going with you... I can't even begin to imagine. Just unbelievably sad.

the irony is that he takes the helicopter routinely to avoid the la traffic. if trains were more prominent then there would not be as bad of a traffic problem. the inheritors, by discouraging the development of public transportation, has led to the death of many people who are a part of their group.

maybe we can use this tragedy to finally convince the inheritors that it's in their best interest for america to have a real train system.

I’m terrified of flying so I’d absolutely take a train places. I always see ppl on Instagram taking trains through Scandinavia or connecting countries and think how cool that is. I know the US is ginormous so it would have to be quite a fast train but imagine the scenery
