    IDK for sure, but it may be a defense mechanism. When I get sensitive about gun violence in schools and lash out, it's out of frustration because I feel helpless to do anything about it.

    This crash apparently occurred shortly after takeoff. Everyone on Payne Stewart's plane apparently died of hypoxia (oxygen deprivation) resulting from cabin depressurization. The plane continued flying on autopilot for quite a while until it ran out of fuel and crashed.

    It said pediatric patient and escort, and 4 crew.

    So likely a gravely ill child needing to go to some specialist hospital somewhere.

    Nothing like that for sure. It left Philadelphia and crashed in Philadelphia.

    Payne Stewart’s plane took off in Orlando and flew on auto pilot until it ran out of gas due to decompression in the cabin.

    Someone asked him if it was appropriate to be making up stories before the names were released from the crash. While bodies were being recovered?

    Know what he said? “What names? You mean the people on the plane? What does that matter”? ‘Member when they made a big deal when Clinton said nearly the similar… years after Benghazi?

    Disagree, Payne's flight lost cabin pressure well after takeoff and continues flying until it ran out of fuel. This flight was too low for loss of cabin pressure to be an issue.

    You do hear the engines at full go, which I tought was odd. This plane didn’t “stall”, it seemingly came in full throttle. Like i said, “like a missile”.

    Who knows what that means though.

    Loss of elevator control possibly.

    This was one video I saw where it looked like there was a small explosion and then the plane nosedived straight into the ground.

    Apparently a plane from Mexico with Mexican pilots, who were on they way back to Tijuana with a patient who was released from hospital today. Two pilots, two doctors, a young girl who was the patient and her mother were on the plane.

    I haven’t seen an explosion in any of the videos. The lights get brighter at one point but it appears that is due to the plane rotating.

    Meant mid-air explosion.

    That was probably what I saw then, the planes rotated and the lights shown directly at the camera
