The NASCAR legend was with his wife and 15-month-old daughter when their plane bounced twice and landed hard in Tennessee, bursting into a billowing ball of smoke and fire.

They did try a go around, but incorrectly in some way and the thrust was not given, im not a pilot. Also they were barely able to exit the plane because the fence was partially blocking the door.
Appalling how Dale ran from plane while his wife was still inside!
Had that fence wrapped around the door it would have been fateful!
Something tells me that Dale Sr was looking after him
"its in fire"
Caption: "It's in clown"
What the..
Also I feel bad for the people but when they said baby was alive and dog. I relieve that it's alive.
So if the plane was caught on cell phones "bouncing down the runway," where is the footage? There's just dark smoke and men walking calmly.
What's with people pulling out their phones to catch it on video when there is a life saving opportunity? I'll come back to haunt people if they film my death when they could have done something. Our phones should not be our first thoughts, and decency goes a long way….show some dignity for people.
The good lord was in charge? Horseshit! The good lord apparently wanted to put everyone on board through hell, maybe he was bored that day.
Goes to show you money can't save you .. glad they were ok
just don't fly there are others ways to travel
Funny how they put Dale in the hospital as a “Precaution “ yet the baby and everyone else, went straight home. 🤦â€ÂÂ♂ï¸ÂÂ
That's so great, usually pretty tragic they all need to buy lottery tickets that day
Everyone watching holding their breath. Nooo they were holding their phones up
DAVID LESH FAKE CRASH
– 0 video when the engine fail. ZERO. or when the plane gg to hit the water, even idiots like me can figure it out.
– real pilot would have take all the inflight video out. doubt that he is not recording in flight with his fake crashlanding with the GOPRO during INFLIGHT.
especially when the plane gonna hit the water.
– people like me and other normal people would have taken all the gopro inflight video out n fak the plane maker n sues them if ever they gimme this kind of plane and risk my wife's LIFE.
– only started the video after the plane went down… like i say, even idiots like me can figure it out…
– FAA should put an end to his life risking charade and charge him in court.
– david lesh just cross the line by risking his gf life. this is too much, it just cross the red line.
– if i have a daugther, no way im going to let her near people like david lesh. he is going to kill someone if nobody put an end to this charade.
I already email FAA about this note.
Thank you FAA for making flying a safe one and stopping all this fake david lesh charade.
And no one goes to help them ,just recording and talking, like oh wow look at that.
So much for 1 in a million
ALL THEM COWARDS FILMING AND NOT 1 WORTHLESS HUMAN HELPS. W.T.F. TO ALL WHO TOOK PICTURES, SHAME ON YOU, YOUR FIRST THOUGHT WAS TO PULL OUT YOUR CHINESE CAMERA AND WATCH HUMAN BEINGS BURN POSSIBLE PERISH. INSTEAD OF HELPING .TO ALL WHO FILMED. ALLLLL COWARDS , SHAME ON YOU. HOPEFULLY, YOU , YOUR FAMILY OR CHILDREN NEVER NEED SAVING. GOD BLESS AND GOD SPEED , TO A GREAT AMERICAN FAMILY.
THE COMMENT TOWARDS THE END THAT GOD WAS IN CHARGE AND THAT'S WHY PEOPLE LIVED ??????REALLY ?????SO WHEN THOUSANDS OF OTHER PERISHED GOD WAS ON VACATION ????? TOTALLY DELUSIONAL PERIOD.
God sounds like a terrorist!! I see many comments about how God was present on this flight, and other plane crashes, at wrecks, etc. I sure am glad this "God" character wasn't on any of my airplane flights because I much prefer to land safely, softly, and without the plane bursting into flames!! Keep this "God" terrorist far away from me!!!
God – taking credit for all the successes, and none of the failures, for over 2000 years. What a slick scam he's running. Even when tragedy happens, people are THANKING him for it?
Why aren't you asking "Where was God?? Why did God FAIL to prevent this plane crash? Why did God FAIL to answer our prayers of landing safely, instead allowing the plane to burst into flames? Why is God so cruel and powerless?"
When yer pilots are dumbasses !
Rip
Thank heavens!! OMG! â¤ï¸ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂ💋💋
I'm glad everyone is ok
the had his dad watching over him so glad the Are ok
yup this is modern america stand around with a phone and not mind there own business
Jet way (not) flames you could see for miles ( not) Hard landing is what happened and people got out through the door.
Good thing that cyclone fence didn't wrap around the fuselage over the door!!!
It's a miracle from every God and Heaven on Earth that they all made it out alive..!! Thank God you're they're all okay ðŸ™ÂÂâ¤ï¸ÂÂ.
God was with you and your family Dale , I’m happy all is well.
God and Sr. both were looking down on them that day
And the weak stand around and do nothing!!
Rip
God is REAL!!!!!
one Miracle at a time …now this is a Testimony for this family to tell and share wit the World!!!!!
Cornfield in Russia? Talk about cultural appropriation.
oh yea slip it in trying to help out the big airline. i caught that.
Any landing you walk away from is a good one
That was a close one Earnhardt.
I think motorized vehicles are bad luck to Dales family
That family has to be cursed
I'd never fly again…nope
You think they were letting Dale land that thing? Wouldn't that be some shizit??
So sad when his father died in that race car accident rip/3/
