It's...not early on. 9pm was "early on." |
The water is below freezing. A doctor said 30 minutes is longest they could last. I hope I am wrong. |
Did you see the pics of the plane, now in 2 parts? So mangled you wouldn’t know it’s a plane. Add the horrible explosion. |
But out of respect for the families, that is not how they should learn of their loved one’s death. There is a reason Muriel Bowser would not discuss that. She undoubtedly knows what the Senator knows, but she was being sensitive and highly professional. |

WTOP headline is
NEWS UPDATE: Authorities confirm no casualties after passenger flight with 64 aboard crashes midair with Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National For the past few years their headlines have been written terribly across the board |

"Casualties" means the dead AND injured; many think the word only refers to the deceased but it is not a common mistake to think word applies to injured only. Whoever made this headline truly was confused. |
They just changed it to NEWS UPDATE: Authorities don't confirm casualties after passenger flight with 64 aboard crashes midair with Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Which doesn't make sense either What I think they were trying to say in both is that the authorities have not confirmed that people are dead |
Wait until the authorities have made a statement. Speculating helps no one. |
