1. RIP

More death and destruction thanks to Trump.

Maybe he should have spent more time planning the war than his ballroom. Dems need to hammer him on this.

Crash or was it shot down?

5. Sounds to me like the KC135 was trying to refuel another plane and there

was a collision that caused the big tanker to crash. The other plane reportedly landed safely.

6. Mid-air collision

There are pictures of the KC-135 that was able to land with half of its vertical stabiliser missing. It obviously sliced off a critical piece of the other tanker.

4. Remember, these planes carry no parachutes or ejection systems

You cannot bail out of a KC-135. They were doomed.
