  1. That pilot must be stupid I would've land the minute I knew smoke was coming from the engine not trying to fly all the way to the airport.

  2. R.I.P. for the officer and the woman, surprised by death. 😢😢

  3. May the Lord bless your soul captain Jackson🇺🇸🙏

  4. RIP This is a true tragedy.

  5. Imagine you’re minding your business making a sandwich after a long day of work and a helicopter falls on you in your house

  6. At least this reporting is somewhat comprehensible. Other local Florida reports seem incomprehensible and don't even mention the fire chief's death. It's a very tragic event.

  7. Prayers and condolences to friends and family

  8. So horrific😪
    God Bless these brothers🙏🏻🙏🏻😢 I'm glad 2 crew also survived🙏🏻🙏🏻
