An NRA executive has revealed her 49-year-old daughter and two-year-old granddaughter were killed alongside the girl's nanny and the pilot when a private Cessna plane crashed in Virginia, leaving no survivors.
Barbara Rumpel, a businesswoman and member of the NRA Women's Leadership Forum from Florida, confirmed the news on Facebook Sunday after the small plane went down in the mountainous region of Virginia on Sunday.
'My family is gone, my daughter and granddaughter,' Rumpel wrote in a Facebook comment

It is inexcusable to make this about political donations. A child died. Her mother and nanny died. And the media boils it down to donations to Trump? What is wrong with these people? My condolences to the family.

Yes, #1. The Daily Mail (UK), and Stephen M. Lepore are equally uncouth. What a way to describe the triple tragedy. Unresponsive pilot? Is this more ''peacetime tonnage?''

I cannot imagine the pain this couple is going through this day. My clear hope being as they are conservative, is that they are religious people and have their faith in God Our Father to comfort them in their hour of grief. My prayers are with them, as I know my are my fellow and sister Ldotters. I did read one article that reported one of the Air Force pilots observed the pilot of the private plane appeared to be unconscious. A terrible personal tragedy for this family.
I also agree with #1, the hyenas that call themselves the press focusing on the fact they are Republicans and Trump supporters deserve to hung by a lamp post.

What a tragedy for this family. My prayers that they have the strength to make it through.
#4. My heart goes out to you. Something so sudden and unexpected takes a long time to process. If you don't have someone who can sit and listen, please find a professional to talk it all out with you. You need to talk and repeat your story over and over until you begin to believe it all. My prayers are with you, and all of the family and friends who loved your wife. I lost a person very close to me in the same way. It will be 50 years ago this coming September. I have healed from the initial pain of course but I don't think I'd be surprised if he walked in the door tomorrow.

This sounds like they had a sudden loss of air pressure at high altitude. I've heard of several of these instances like this in small jets. Everyone is knocked unconscious by the loss of cabin pressure and the plane flies till it hits something, or runs out of fuel.
What altitude were they at? What were last communications? These would be the first questions to answer. Then, what do the service records say about the craft? How old was it?

The DMUK has been a boorish, sensationalist piece of garbage for a long time, just like our own Washington and New York democrat propaganda outlets.
Sonic boom or Stinger missile? You decide. Prayers to the family.

This kind of loss is unimaginable. My dear sister-in-law lost her entire family (husband and two young sons) in a boating accident in 1985. They did nothing wrong, but someone else did. I grieve for the Rumpel family and for you, Mushroom. We are people of faith, so we know that they are alive and well with the Lord; but it's hard to not have them here with us. Prayers for all of you, and peace.

A very sad accident which has certainly blown a huge hole in this family. It's a great tragedy for them, and the vicious haters in the Enemedia should be ashamed of themselves, but they are such ethics free, subhuman animals these days that they have no concept of humanity or shame.

Sadly, I have experienced this pain. My prayers go out to all of them. I still go berserk when a family member flies.

Did the Pilot suffer a heart attack resulting from the "Clot-Shot?"

Good Grief!! The DM is abhorrent and the headline on the piece is simply inexcusable especially when reporting a tragedy of this nature. Ms. Rumpel's business connections and donor status have ZERO to do with the plane crash but I guess the DM was signaling that this family is not deserving of sympathy because of it? Unconscionable!
Additionally, I want to extend my condolences to Mushroom. It's difficult to lose a loved one when he/she has been ill and the death is expected; one has time to prepare for it, at least. But the suddenness of accidents is SO HARD to process and I can imagine how shell-shocked you feel right now. But you matter to God and He is with you and will help you through this in whatever way you need. God bless you and your family.

The Daily Mail had to put in the ghoulish headline about the NRA, donating to Donald Trump what does that have to do with the tragedy and loss of life? This is very sad and sorrowful for the family. I feel hateful toward everything on the left. If some leftist democrat meets a horrible fate, I might just look at it as total political like the Daily Mail or any others do.

Well...the fake news media managed to include the NRA and a Trump donator in the first paragraph of the article....no concern for the people who were killed....and the pilot seemed to be unconscious by the fly by crew...whatever happened...so sad...my prayers will be with this family...

An unspeakable tragedy for the Rumpel family and a tragic, unspeakable tragedy for you, Mushroom. Your Lucianne family grieves with and for you and your family. Take comfort in knowing that your wife is in God's loving arms. May God bless you always.

To Mushroom and those who have recently lost loved ones… and for America…
God, you are my God!
I will fervently seek you.
My soul thirsts for you;
my flesh longs for you in a dry,
weary, and parched land. ~ Psalm 63

If you have been paying attention to DC leftist Democrat crooked politics and their media propagandists, you just would have to figure that they would somehow on the margin connect Trump to this apparent aircraft accident and indirectly to the deaths of innocent people.

I you all recall, Trump and Melania beat the DM like a rented mule prior to his announcing for president in 2016. The DM has never forgiven the Trumps for doing that and will take every opportunity to slime them in revenge. What I happened to wonder about that accident if it was anything like the one that killed Payne Stewart. Decompression in a plane cabin can suck the oxygen out of the plane and suffocate the passengers. I hope they figure it out.
I am in complete agreement with comment #1. Filthy minded media people.
