It was supposed to save them time and money.
Commercial jet is the only way to fly. These small planes are death traps, you hear of one going down every few days
Cars are just as dangerous
BH everyone is home and well.

Huh? Stats?
On Newsweek website this is what they reported:
“Local news outlets reported that multiple people were injured. The Lakewood Scoop identified one victim as Chasdei Hashem.
The Ocean County Sheriff reported on Facebook at 5:30 p.m. ET that “all aboard are safe.”
THEY ARE SO RIGHT, IT is Chasdei Hashem!
It seems like every few days we hear of another one of these small planes crashing. These are all single engine planes that keep on crashing. Small planes have a much higher accident rate than commercial airliners and single engine planes have the highest rate of crashes from all small planes. IMO single engine planes need to be outlawed.
