Jake Paul offers heartfelt condolences to people affected by Potomac tragedy, questions how it occurred
Jake Paul has offered his condolences to the tragic victims of an unfortunate collision between an American Airlines plane and a military helicopter, resulting in a crash into the Potomac River in Washington. The ill-fated flight carried 60 passengers with four crew members, whereas the Blackhawk helicopter had three soldiers on board.
The tragic aerial accident is the first such case of an American commercial flight since 2009. The Bombardier DHC-8 propeller plane crashed into a residential building near Buffalo, New York, killing 45 on board and one person on the ground in 2009. It is the deadliest aircraft crash preceding the Potomac catastrophe.
The bodies of 28 passengers have been recovered from the wreckage so far and the hopes of any survivors have dwindled. The District of Columbia Fire Chief, John Donnelly, held a press conference and informed the public that there are probably no survivors from the crash.
'The Problem Child' reacted to the gut-wrenching news by sending a heartfelt condolence message to the victims, in addition to questioning the reason behind this tragic mid-air collision:
"Damn. How does that even happen. Prayers and condolences to all impacted from the Potomac tragedy."
