I wonder if some of the crew were able to eject.

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.

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.
