36. You can't wear a T-shirt stating "Curb your God" without facing the consequences. What did he expect? Clearly, you cannot disrespect God. Live and learn, people.

41. To all the people making jokes, having a good time with this, you can go to hell. I was Chris's roommate before he noved out to L.A. And he was a pretty good friend and helped me out alot. I just want to say if this happened to your family you wouldn't want people jokeing about it. I send my love to his wife and son, and his mom who is also a great person. I'm sorry for their lost.

42. I noticed it is a woman pilot.Do you want a woman piloting the jet you may be flying on?It might scare me.They should stick to being stewardesses.

43. Its really horrible to hear that a small jet plane fell and had deaths. Im such a fan of TRAVIS and DJ AM but my BIG HEART goes out to everyone in general even if they were not famous cause after all we are all the same. May GOD bless their souls and family......... R.I.P.
