The remaining thrust was taking it straight down, quickly.

It’s night time and it is the aircraft’s lights. Not on fire. It just took off from the airport.

2 plane crashes originating in Kansas and Missouri (is Kansas City also in Missouri?), plus Zizian vegan murderous trans cult. Not suspicious at all.

Imma guess. It was an experimental Vans RV home-built aircraft. RV-10 maybe?

Ok. Bad guess. I’m now saying Pilatus PC-12 single-engine turbo prop....after seeing the wreckage.

Seems to be different stories on how many people on board: one source says 6, and another says 2. Dont know how many casualties on the ground. Idiots on various news source chat boards spewing the usual anti-Trump BS and typical conspiracy nonsense.

The fuel capacity is about 1,100 gallons or about 7,000 pounds.

Looks like they might have lost control of the horizontal stabilizer. Hard to figure what else could pitch the jet down at such a high speed, right after takeoff.

He’s probably worked more in 4 days, than the breast-feeder did for all four years.

these “events” cannot all be chance occurrences. I am increasingly led to believe that this is their ‘enemy action’ done in such a manner that anti American perpetrators are resisting and fomenting havoc to attempt to block MAGA.

They are in every walk of life and they are willing to suicide and kill innocents... to sow their chaos.
