Prayers go out to the pilots families.

Y'all be careful out there.

Pretty sure you didn't fully comprehend what I was trying to say.

Didn't speculate, simply saying that what appears to be one way can often times NOT be the case. What can appear to be survivable sometimes can't, and vice versa, for whatever reason.

Do what? Express sadness?

Or the white dots? The white dots are because two sad faces don't make up the minimum 10 characters required to post. So they act as filler if you will.

In some of the photos there is a UPS truck at the scene. Why would it be there ?! Would they really be picking up parcels that quickly ?

Also wouldn't be surprised with the ILS & PAPI ots if it turns out to be similar to Asiana in SFO. Perhaps the weird engine sounds was actually the spooling up upon realization of being too low. Very sad day.
