Those private jets are little jet planes. They always get into an accident. They're just so lightweight. They can't hold wind and stuff like that. I don't know why people keep riding on them if I have to transfer from my regular airplane flight to a jet to get to another place. Hell nobody like that one. I'd rather have a helicopter

Helicopters are statistically more dangerous than planes

Glad they're okay. And aborted take off sucks as is, crashing on top of that has to suck even more.
