Yikes. It's been a rough few days for aviation.
The aftermath image doesn't look good.

The comments in the link you posted are humorous and scary simultaneously, I'm sure more have been posted since I viewed it but when I did it had already turned into a political argument while the wreck is literally still on fire and somehow it's Trumps fault.Yikes. It's been a rough few days for aviation.

I don’t see a comment section on that report (?).

I didn't save a screenshot, before I replied to your post I looked again and apparently they removed the comment section and locked it up. It was there when I looked at the link and I'm not in the habit of just making stuff up, I'm not bright enough to write fiction.

I have a sneaky suspicion you might be trying to bait us.

Thank you. I thought I was going nuts for a second. My apologies to ABC7.

Not trolling, the confusion has been sorted, the comments were from the AP article linked in a post previous to yours. I'm not baiting anyone.
Somehow you've managed to make this about you even though no one accused you of making things up.

When I started this thread I posted...
Apparently a B-52 crashed shortly after takeoff from Edwards AFB. I have no other details.
I replied to a post about a link that had a comment section that went immediately political. My sentiment was more about how folks are so quickly compelled to post their narrative as the wreckage was still smoking. Explain to me when I made this thread about me. I'm not a narcissist, if anything I'm an introvert. Back up your assertion.
