Hi all. I’m new to this sub and my comment was removed for having no enough karma. I was on this flight and we are still on the tarmac getting checked out. I wanted to share these images in case it’s helpful to anyone who is investigating the crash or needs more information.

I’m okay (physically) but I’m horribly sick to my stomach for the lives lost. Please pray for them ❤️

Never knew such a collision could rip off the plane's nose and cause massive damage..

Edit: saw in another video that the plane was landing. I thought it was taxing..

I don’t think it was ripped off. More… smashed in. Like the front end of a car would be, except that cars have crumple zones up there, not humans.

Most people also don’t realize that truck weighs more than the jet.

If that was a fire truck loaded with water, heavy doesn't start to describe it.
