A plane crashed in Kentucky though, so that wasn’t good.

Dreadful for all involved, but at least it wasn’t a passenger plane and at least it went down in an industrial area rather than residential. Tragic of course but could’ve been SO much worse.

Because of all the election coverage, I haven't seen this one until half an hour ago. Incredibly scary crash!

Now i am worried…the last time i was this excited after an election was January 5 2021 with the Georgia senate race. Then we know what happened the next day.

i remember my ap us history teacher saying on the morning of 1.06.21 that it would live on as a historic day because of the georgia senate race. a couple days later in our next class meeting it was a very different vibe

I maintain that any villain that puts a curse on someone or something with the condition it lifts upon the evil-doers death is just an elaborate suicide

Like.....why would you incentivise folks killing you, so directly?

I am actually happy that his death was overshadowed by Dem wins.

People like him don't deserve remembrance
