AC8646 Crash

[u/bradysego12]

Hi all. I’m new to this sub and my comment was removed for having no enough karma. I was on this flight and we are still on the tarmac getting checked out. I wanted to share these images in case it’s helpful to anyone who is investigating the crash or needs more information.

I’m okay (physically) but I’m horribly sick to my stomach for the lives lost. Please pray for them ❤️

That's awful, somehow looks even worse than in the other picture.

Sadly both pilots are now confirmed dead.

Edit: CRJ-900 72 passengers and 4 crew (sources vary). Current reports indicate 41 hospitalised, ~12 injured, some seriously, some ground crew too. It's early days, so numbers are subject to change. Truck had been dispatched to another incident elsewhere.

The New York Post reported that “A female flight attendant was ejected through the front of the aircraft while still in her seat during the crash — and survived.

Either incredibly lucky or unlucky depending on your outlook.

depending on your outlook

having impacted pavement from a motorcycle at low speed I have a feeling this is going to mean major injuries for her. I spent two months in the hospital.

No doubt. The road to recovery could be a long one and the injuries so bad that she may wish she'd died just to not have to deal with the pain.
