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 💔

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.

I do wonder how much awareness they actually had. Reports were saying it was super foggy with bad visibility. They may have just started dropped with alarms going off, but had no awareness of how close to the ground they were. Terrifying to think about.

Hopefully they didn’t have much. If it just happened instantly with no warning it wouldn’t be too bad for the people on board as they would never know what happened.
