    That one guy that missed his seat on that plane probably is never going to fly again

    "The fact that the airplane entered a spin tells me that the pilots were not in control of it" Well you don't say😮.
  • @billganahl7151
    The expert says that because it was in a spin that tells him the pilots weren't in control.

    How lucky that one guy must feel who was supposed to be on that plane — but wasn’t.
  • @p_owlow
    That was a flat spin on what looks to be a prop aircraft, impossible to recover from. The amount of terror onboard is heartbreaking to think of, it was a really slow and long fall… Rest in peace
  • CORRECTION: The plane crashed in a town around 90km from São Paulo (called Vinhedo) and NOT in a NEIGHBORHOOD near São Paulo.
  • @Biison911
    MY GOD!!! Feel sooo sorry for them. That video is terrifying just to watch. RIP
  • @bizzz.R
    I get butterflies in my gut.....thinking about their butterfly feeling. RIP.

    Deepest sympathy for the famlies and friends of the passengers and crew. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

    Watching this happen is a literal nightmare of mine. A small plane with four passengers crashed in a pasture close to my rural home when I was a kid. I heard all the small town tales about picking up body parts, etc. so it’s kind of a core memory for me. I can’t imagine watching this in person.

    "In a freefall falling fast".... The state of our journalism right there.
  • @cidguy
    I can't imagine what an impact this is to their loved ones. This is truly a tragedy.
  • @MrRashad9001
    ATR has a known history of crashing in icy weather conditions American Eagle used to fly them some decades ago and had several crashes in the ATR , this is a sad situation
  • @younggunit.
    Imagine a plane suddenly stop working in mid air not control of your life at that point
