I'm not surprised that Nancy Kerrigan is emotional over the death of the figure skater passengers since she is a figure skating legend.
that was intentional, they're trying to tarnish trump's presidency any way possible
🙏🏾
I'm so angered! Why must the military conduct exercises in live airspace? We are not lab rats to be experimented on!
Reporters:
How about you shut up and let others speak and not interrupt them? That was a rhetorical question.
Sending love and hugs
😭🙏
Prayers for all the families and friends left behind😢
