Is anyone else thinking about safety regulations right now? Or how power lines and plane paths intersected like a scene from a disaster movie? πŸ€”

The plane took off from Hickory Regional Airport, which is a whole 45 miles away from Charlotte. Tragically, it crashed into Lake Hickory after hitting that pesky power line, resulting in two deaths. The victims’ names? Still under wraps, but hearts go out to their families. πŸ’”

Local station WCNC was on top of the outage chaos, reporting that over 18,000 residents had to deal with powerless fridges and uncharged phones. But hey, the power was back by 1:30 p.m. Silver lining? Or just an annoying interruption to Sunday brunch? 🍳

While authorities are busy diving into the depths of Lake Hickory and zapping through the details, questions remain. What was going on with the pilot? Air traffic control? Is this a design flaw, human error, or just an electrifying twist of fate?

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board are on the scene, trying to uncover what happened. Maybe someone should’ve reached out to the NTSB for more info, but hey, they’re probably too busy. We’ll be here, waiting for answers. πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™‚οΈ
