| I have no power so am listening to the radio for updates on the place crash. They did a story on the Hanafi siege in 1977, saying they were motivated by injustice . They literally attacked a Jewish center, blaming Jews for some movie about Muhammad. When I was in preschool one of the kids’ dads was taken hostage and it totally messed up his life and marriage. A man was killed and wtop was making excuses for them |
| Hope the plane passengers are rescued safely! |
| I imagine listening to WTOP is like using speed before doing a newscast. That's how I feel when I listen to it. Must be to keep all the drivers awake. |
| Well, if you're unhappy, why don't you contact the station to educate them on the true facts of the case. |
And the pilot charged with reckless endangerment immediately. If you don't know how to fly small planes in inclement weather, don't put people's lives at risk and inconvenience hundreds of thousands of others! |
Yeah... two of my BILs are licensed to fly small aircraft, and one of them nearly had the same accident. Poor visibility will trip up even the most careful and experienced pilot, PP. What should be regulated is the presence of previously rural airports in what is now urban areas. Flights should be heavily restricted or cancelled entirely during poor weather. Don't put it all on the pilots. |
| Maybe the circumstances were beyond a reasonably prudent pilots control. |
It wasn’t poor weather. It was probably going to be IFR anyway because it's dark. And the airpark isn't an "urban" location. Having second thoughts about your decision to buy a home next to an airport? |
| The crash could well have been caused by an engine failure (especially since there was no fire). Please wait for the NTSB report before rushing to conclusions. |
What happened to those guys who flew a plane towards the White House? |
| I don’t think anyone should be allowed to fly planes like that. It’s dangerous and unnecessary like driving a tank around the suburbs. |

Wtop is one of the worst reporting news stations.
It's cringe and rarely listen to it other than fir traffic and weather. |
WTOPs reporting is bad except when it’s good. LMFAO. |
While we are talking about WTOP, why is their advertising so bad? I've come to believe that if I hear an ad on that station, it's definitely an overpriced, useless product. And whats with the erectile dysfunction ads all the time? You'd think all the men who listen to WTOP just can't get it up. |
Agree. I can't listen to it most of the time when the kids are on the car. The reporting is 1-sided, incomplete, and otherwise shoddy . And don't get me started when they report on "studies" and quote a statistic ("Eating 5 pieces of fruits and veggies daily will increase your life expectancy by X%..wow, really? Who knew?). |
