Thanks for someone finally at least getting it correct here. The helicopter hit the AA flight all the other reporting is worded like the AA flight ran into the copter. I understand that yes they collided but the wording has been misleading.

Well thank fuck the drunk foxnews chump sucking clown is all over it, maybe he can start by apologizing that his expensive chopper got in the way and killed innocent civilians, and finish by announcing his resignation and admitting he’s under qualified 👍

THIS IN ALL ON TRUMP. BLOOD IS ON HIS HANDS. HORRIBLE LEADERSHIP. NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED UNDER BIDEN OR HARRIS. THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WITH TRUMP.
