U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall, both representing Kansas, delivered heartfelt statements to the media following the tragic plane crash that claimed the lives of numerous Kansans. The senators expressed their profound sorrow and offered condolences to the families of the victims, emphasizing the need for unity and support during this difficult time.
Kansas ' two U.S. senators were among the officials who briefed media members at Reagan National Airport about the crash early Thursday. Sen. Jerry Moran, a Republican who said he chairs an aviation subcommittee, said he's 'praying that our responders are safe and that the folks who were on that flight are recovered.'Fellow Sen. Roger Marshall, also a Republican, said, 'When one person dies, it's a tragedy but when many, many, many people die, it's an unbearable sorrow.
It's a heartbreak beyond major. ... I want the folks back home to just know that we care, that we love them and that this is a time when we will have to join arms together and help each other out.' We've been through things like this before — through tornadoes and floods and things, but it's really hard when you lose probably over 60 Kansans simultaneously. I don't want to forget the pilots and the flight attendants who were doing their jobs, and the military personnel we lost. All those lives are so valuable, and it is such a tragedy that we lost them.
