Witness says skydivers didn't have time to jump before Missouri plane crash that killed 12

OOOoohhhh. So many died. :-(
They had no chance to escape. America is shocked again. Also very sad that children witnessed it. They will never forget. An emotional trauma. My deepest condolences to the family members. So many young adults losing their lives. A terrible waste of precious lives.

12 people, plus gear , two thousand pounds load needs to be properly distributed,

im curious if it was 5 tandums, 1 door guy and 1 pilot? so did they just loose 7 employees and 5 customers?

I have a genuine question for anyone who may have better insight into this subject...but, why aren't 'black boxes' required for ALL aircraft (1:23) used for business/commercial purposes, regardless of size? What are the arguments for and against this (pros v. cons)? In the past couple of years, I've noticed several reports on crashes involving small planes & helicopters that note the crafts had "no black boxes". I'm just curious.

3:13 thank God Bailey stopped to watch or it would've landed on them

Rest in power innocent souls....
R terrorist taking over the controls of our vessel????
B52 disintegrated 2day the same way during take off.... & look at all the other crashes & copper crashes & near misses...
Im sorry but this shows us that it's not the shortage of airtraffic controllers !!!!!! Who are taking down our aircrafts??????

Well, obviously, as with all plane crashes, the flight was going pretty much normal until the Earth got in the way.

Statistically it's still the car drive to the plane to the skydiving which is the most dangerous part...

You don’t have to be a nurse to have common sense understanding that no one could survive a crash like that. Sometimes I 🙄 with the takes from these talking heads 🗣️

It's not at all too early to speculate, that's just a bureaucrat watching his back. It's most certainly a stalled wing, meaning the pilot initiated a turn after take-off when his airspeed was too low to sustain flight - on the inside wing. When you turn, the inner wing is flying slower than the outer wing, and when you are at borderline speeds, this can cause the inside wing to stall, i.e., lose lift, initiating a spin (which is why the witness saw the belly of the aircraft) and the plane was way too low to recover from such a mishap. Pilots on such repetitive runs, taking up skydivers all day, can lose their concentration because it just becomes so routine and eventually tedious. I've shuttled people up and down dozens of time a day, which turns into hundreds of identical flights, over time, and you notice your attention flagging, especially after lunch on a hot day! Lost a couple of buddies along the way.

There's some super juicy irony here, I'm just trying to figure out what it is.... Still to early to comment on if I do though.

It was overloaded it sounds like

Some dude figured out too much. Planes don’t be crashing instantly for no reason.

I like to make sure my plane has enough fuel before I fly anywhere and not to overload it

The plane stalled. Could be a number of things. Too much water in the fuel. A car will stall out with a gallon of water in the gas tank. A 2 seater plane will stall with a half of gallon of water in the gas.

Soooo sad RiP

Departure stall. Every pilot is supposed to do a weight and balance calculation. If the center of gravity is too far aft, the little wings at the rear (the horizontal stabilizer), which actually push down rather than up, like the main wings, can't keep the nose up. When this happens, the plane will enter a stall, which occurs when the wind going over the wing separates. One wing will drop and the plane will enter into a spin, but at this altitude the spin can't fully develop because it takes several hundred feet of altitude to do so. When entering the spin though, the plane will turn on its side, exposing the underside of the fuselage to who happens to be on that side. Every pilot is taught spin recovery, but it usually takes a couple of thousand feet of altitude to do so. This is why departure stalls are so dangerous. If you get into one, chances are, someone is going to die.

This will not be the first skydiving plane to experience this. It has happened many times over the decades.

I JUMP OUT ? BUT DAM IT !~ THE GROUND THERE SEE GRASS HOPPERS IN MY EYES ON MY FACE YES what you THINK AM DEAD MASHED UP MY ANGEL SAID

Dying in a skydiving accident is a sign of too much free time and money.

sad.

IT WAS OVER LOADED, Duh!

Imagine dying in a plane crash with a perfectly functional parachute.

Having been a skydiver since the 80s I am amused by WHUFOs that ask why we jump from” perfectly good airplanes “” . There’s no such thing as a” perfectly good airplane “ and jump planes are just one step away from the scrap metal yard!

Not having time to jump kind of defeats the purpose of skydiving.

This is absolutely heartbreaking!

Don't skydive. It's stupid.😮

How horrible

Omg what a freak accident what are the odds of your once of in a lifetime bucket list must do, skydiving 🪂 instead of finally getting your list marked off your not even able to jump. Prayers to all the families of the victims and prayers for the souls who never expected today would be there last day . How sad😢

Ooh, no. God be with these people❤

😢 I can't express my condolences to the people involved in the accident. But it's sad. I hope they figure out what might have happened.
