Alaska lawmaker and six others die when two planes collide midair

The six who died in the plane that crashed with Knopp's were pilot Gregory Bell, 57, who owned High Adventure Air Charter in Soldotna; guide David Rogers, 40; and the four young South Carolinians — Caleb Hulsey, 26; Heather Hulsey, age 25; Mackay Hulsey, 24, and Kirstin Wright, 23.

Knopp's staff confirmed the lawmaker's death on Friday and said they were"devastated to hear" of the collision. Knopp, who was born in Whitefish, Montana, moved to Alaska in 1979. He worked as a general contractor and served in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly from 2006 to 2012 before his election to the Alaska Legislature in 2016 to represent the small town of Kenai.

Probably going to attribute all of them to COVID to push their narrative

Sad

Hmmm .. ya think .. uh ..

How are we still having plane crashes in this day and age?! You would think that your more secure in the sky. Apparently not. Negligence

Didn't know the mafia had a guy in Alaska

Interesting that the Alaska GOP Gov orders 3 days of flags at 1/2 staff while Trump only gave John Lewis 1/2 a day.

thestate Hey... how are y’all not covering this? This is huge!!! What a family.... RIP

Posted multiple times. How much is ENOUGH?

sorry to hear this-all the best to the families 🙏

But we all see in every fire it's one of Cederick baby mommas or kid's getting shot or on a nunce

Praying

7 more in the covid count...

Smh

+7 for the fake covid death meter Libs:

seems like there's quite a bit of that happening what with the midair collision over that lake in idaho two weeks ago

7/10

define 'midair'. they crashed while in the air

That’s crazy.

Will these deaths be blamed on Covid?

Death anxiety can be perfectly normal.But when it starts interfering with how you live your life, it becomes problematic. for people who don’t find the right coping methods, it’s possible for all that anxiety to cause mental pain and stress.

Mourning for their families.

How do you not see another airplane in the sky?

Thank later
