A prayer vigil was held in Wichita for the victims of a tragic collision between an American Airlines flight and a U.S. Army helicopter, resulting in the loss of 64 lives. Mayor Lily Wu urged community unity in grief, emphasizing the deep connections within Wichita, a city rich in aviation history. With over 450 aerospace firms, the disaster resonates deeply with locals, reminiscent of past tragedies. Professor Jay Price remarked on the city's generational connections and highlighted Wichita's identity tied to aviation, akin to Detroit's automotive legacy.
In honor of the families that are grieving, I'm asking that we come together as Wichitans, as Kansans, as Americans.
We identify with aviation the way Detroit identifies with automobiles.
