KANSAS CITY, Mo. — It’s been a scary and emotional night for those who saw the plane crash or the aftermath in Washington DC.
As the night has gone on, fear has turned into mourning, and support is pouring in for those involved.
A Wichita pastor shared an emotional message Thursday morning. He says we need to lean on each other during this tragic time.
"All of us are going to know people who know people. So it's a great time to double down on caring for each other, upholding each other, holding hands, maybe a little more than we used to. And continuing to pray and depend on the lord in this time,” said Rev. Dr. Ben Staley, A Wichita pastor.
People that were at DCA waiting for their loved ones have spoken about the tragedy, saying all they can do is pray.
"I'm just praying that somebody's pulling her out of the river right now as we speak. That's all I can pray for,” said Hamaad Raza, whose wife is said to be on the plane that collided.
One man lives near the site of the crash and shared what he saw immediately after it happened.

As we learn more about the status of those that were on board, there’s no doubt that more people will be touched by this.
