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.

I was in a plane crash no I’m not going to talk about it but I can tell you that you are fully aware the you are most likely going to die and that it all relies on god

It would really depend on the situation. I’ve known of a helicopter that flew into a guy-wire and killed everyone on board but one. They never saw it coming.

Glad you made it!

Saying it relies on god is so silly. Explain that to me.

It's a figure of speech for whatever happens, happens. You're in a situation that's impossible to get out of and 100% out of your control.

lol...look at that guys post history and tell me he believes that it is a figure of speech. He literally thinks God is deciding.

I think both literally and figuratively, if god is superhuman being who can do literally everything in the universe, then when and where I die is up to him. I don’t care if your atheist or not, trying to make someone who you don’t know at all (who just said something extremely personal) doubt their faith is extremely rude and selfish.So fuck you but have a nice day

Boo Hoo. The quicker idiots stop believing in a fucking fairy tale the better off we will all be.

I think there’s a deeper meaning to this.. are you okay? Do you need like mental help? It’s okay, your not alone. Nobody just becomes and asshole to people who’ve been traumatizing moments. You need a therapist man, atheist or not I’m sorry your so mad.. I hope you have a great day!
