Re: Virginia Beach ladies

  • I was just reading this :( Sad day for VA and for the aviation community. 

    The Chicago Tribune claimed that both pilots were taken to the hospital... I wonder why this says just one..  

  • I was just reading about this, a friend of mine from HS lives just down the road. How heartbreaking.

  • I'm okay, but I'm almost half an hour from where it happened.  I'm not positive where Mary lives but I don't think it's near there because I think she's not too far from me.  Not sure where KCD lives though.  

    It's all over the news here.  It wasn't military housing at all, and from what i'm hearing it was an apartment building for older people.  They haven't said anything about finding anyone inside yet, but the buildings are pretty damaged or gone.  

    It's saying here that only one pilot was taken to the hospital.

  • I am very clpse from the crash, literally down the street. I work at an apartment complex here. Not gonna lie I am a bit shaken up just thinking of the fact that it could have crashed in this apartment complex instead. My H is stuck outside trying to get here. He was on his way to bring mw lunch when it happened. I am really hoping there aren't any fatalities but from the looks of it there might be.
  • I believe both pilots are now in separate hospitals and a civilian is also in the hospital. The Navy will release its statement about the crash at 3pm.

    I'm glad you're ok. How scary for you. I hope YH can get there soon.

  • I'm a regular on NBC, but wanted to pop in here to offer my thoughts and prayers to anyone in the area.

  • I read this a little while ago too. It's right around the corner from where H lived when he was stationed at Langley. Scary!

    I hope everyone is okay.

  • This is so scary. I am so glad that they pilots are okay. But how could Maintenance let a plane like that go? Were there no warning signs, nothing that should have been repaired? Why was this plane not grounded? I am having a really hard time believing that this was a freak accident. Maybe it was, but my gut says no.

    This wouldn't be the first time I've heard stories of planes not being "air ready" but being put in use anyway because of one thing or another. It makes me so mad.
