    It had just taken off so would have been full of fuel. Also med-flight probably had some oxygen tanks on board which would also go boom. Combined with natural gas infrastructure and there’s lots of things that can explode.

    When you see the high rate of speed and type of impact what would one expect?

    For context, here is an example of a natural gas hot water heater that exploded on its own. Obliterated the house, damaged neighboring houses, and left a crater. Please note the lack of a leer jet crashing into it at 500mph.

    I just saw it reported that they found the black box 8' underground at the site of the crash, not sure I believe that, but that is what was reported, maybe 8' below ground level.

    Aww. The usual pearl clutching from our favorite hypocritical snowflakes. Because your reaction if this was Biden would be "totally different" and far more "respectful". Good God! Could you be more full of it. Seriously man. I thought MAGA was all about tough guys. Spare us the menopausal pearl clutching.

    Probably accurate. Considering the impact of the crash an eight foot deep crater would actually be likely. From the video it appears the plane was descending uncontrolled at full speed at the moment of impact.

    Agree, I saw a photo earlier that appeared to show the impact crater. I don't think it is 8' below the bottom of the crater, just 8' below street level. And yes, the plane looked like a missile heading into the ground.

    The way I construed the news report was that the black box was discovered at the bottom of the crater, not an addition eight feet below ground.

    Your post comes across quite misogynistic. Well done.

    Oh, I'm sure we could find some, probably many, especially during the Biden administration. That's the way cognitive dissonance works, especially when paired with the "Go Team!" football mentality. And hypocrisy. Can't forget that. Along with willful ignorance, it's the core of the MAGA movement.

    Oh, and I didn't realize you prayed at the alter of "Woke". Sorry for being "misogynistic". Were you "offended"?

    Hahaha
    I’m not offended in the least. You just sound a little silly with all of you insults and put downs.
    Fellow Dems are making statements that sound similar to what Trump would say. They have lowered themselves to his level.. and apparently you think that is fine because you think I would do the same even if I never have.
    Well done there my friend
    Well done.

    Jet fully loaded with fuel...I think the odds are this will be a mechanical failure or pilot suicide mission.

    Oh, you were definitely "offended" if you mentioned it. Or maybe you thought I was that D cartoon you argue with in your head. Either way, came off like a soft "woke" snowflake. I mean, who else but a soft, "woke" snowflake would even write that?

    Didn't some pilot do the latter recently? Asia, I'm thinking?

    Also it was speculated that was the issue on that flight that disappeared over the Indian Ocean. I'm not sure they ever solved that one.
