  • The moments before a helicopter and plane collided mid-air over the Potomac River




    CNN
     — 

    Before American Eagle Flight 5342 took to the air from Wichita, Kansas, Wednesday evening, on its way to the nation’s capital, figure skater Spencer Lane snapped a photo of the plane’s wing stretched out over the tarmac toward the horizon.

    A grayish-blue overcast sky formed a shimmery curtain over the setting sun in the image the teenager posted to his Instagram Stories. The up-and-coming skater wrote “ICT->DCA,” referencing the airport codes for the departure and destination cities.

    Lane, his mother as well as other budding skating stars, their families and coaches from the US and Russia awaited their departure after attending the US Figure Skating Championships and a development camp for young athletes.

    In all, 60 passengers and four crew members were on board the commercial jet when it took off at 5:39 p.m.

    The 2-hour, 35-minute journey would deliver them to one of the country’s most congested and complicated flight approaches, a runway at Reagan National Airport, just south of the capital’s brightly illuminated marble monuments.

    It ended as the deadliest US aviation disaster in nearly a quarter century.

    On a clear night, the nearly full Bombardier CRJ700 jet approached Runway 33 around 8:48 p.m. when it collided midair with a US Army Black Hawk helicopter carrying a crew of three on a training flight. Videos captured a giant red-orange fireball, followed by an eerie trail of smoke and burning debris. The two aircraft plunged into the dark, frigid Potomac River. No one survived.

    The victims represent a cross section of the legions who traverse America’s congested airways on any given day, including a biology professor and popular soldiers, longtime airline pilots and flight attendants, union steamfitters returning from a hunting trip, an attorney and a pair of young associates, along with the aspiring figure skating stars, their family members and coaches.

    Timothy Lilley, whose son, Sam Lilley, was the first officer on American Airlines Flight 5342, said he spent 20 years as a helicopter pilot in the Army. Both he and his son shared a passion for flying. Now, Lilley told Fox 5 Atlanta, he has to reconcile that passion with the cause of his son’s death.

    “It hurts me because those are my brothers,” he said of the Army helicopter crew. “Now my son is dead.”

    Passenger texted husband: Flight lands soon

    The aircraft wreckage in the Potomac River.

    At Reagan National Airport, Hamaad Raza received a text message from his wife: The flight was about 20 minutes from touching down. He later showed the message to a reporter for CNN affiliate WUSA.

    As Flight 5342 made its subsequent descent just miles south of the White House, the UH-60 Black Hawk flew at a low altitude along what is known as Route 4. The flight path hugs the eastern shore of the Potomac and is reserved as a special corridor for law enforcement, medevac, military, and government helicopters. Helicopters in the corridor must be at or below 200 feet above sea level.

    The military helicopter may have been flying outside its approved flight path, at a higher altitude than it was supposed to be, and at least half a mile off the approved route, the New York Times reported.

    Members of the US Army’s 12th Aviation Battalion’s Bravo company – based in Fort Belvoir, Virginia – the soldiers on board had experience with the crowded and tightly controlled airspace over DC.

    The helicopter pilot and co-pilot had at least 1,500 hours of flight time between them – a significant amount, according to a senior Army official, considering their average flights are around two hours. Jonathan Koziol, chief of staff for Army aviation, described the soldiers as “a fantastic crew. Very experienced at what they were doing.”

    The two pilots at the controls of Flight 5342 were also experienced. The captain had been flying with PSA Airlines – which operated the flight for parent carrier American – for nearly six years, according to company CEO Robert Isom. The first officer had nearly two years with the airline.

    About 8:43 p.m. Wednesday, an air traffic controller at Reagan National contacted the commercial jet.

    “Can you take Runway 33?” the controller asked, directing the jet to a shorter runway that intersects the busy main runway.

    “Yeah, we can do 33,” the pilot responded.

    “Can confirm Runway 33, Runway 33 cleared to land …”

    The soldiers on the Black Hawk were conducting what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth described as an annual nighttime training on “a continuity of government mission.” The missions are routine: In the event of a catastrophe, helicopters are often employed to usher government officials to safety. Crew members had night vision goggles, the defense secretary said.

    The Black Hawk flew past the Lincoln Memorial and over the Tidal Basin. As the inky black Potomac spread out below the helicopter, an air traffic controller at Reagan National contacted the military pilot.

    “Do you have the CRJ in sight?” the air traffic controller asked, referring to the regional jet. The controller instructed the military aircraft to look out for the jet.

    Before the pilot responded, the controller instructed the helicopter to “pass behind the CRJ,” according to a feed of the air traffic communication.

    “Pat-25 has aircraft in sight,” the helicopter pilot responded with his call signal. He requested “visual separation,” meaning he would visually maintain a safe distance from the jet. The tower confirmed and granted the pilot permission to visually navigate and avoid Flight 5342.

    That final communication was followed by more than 10 seconds of silence before the giant fireball erupted above the Potomac. The audio captured audible gasps, including a loud “oooh” in the background.

    “Oh, my!” someone is heard saying in the background of radio transmissions. Air traffic controllers are heard scrambling to direct jets to nearby airports.

    “Tower, did you see that?” the pilot of one aircraft is heard asking on the radio transmission.

    “Looks like there were flares up in the air,” a pilot reported to the tower at one point.

    “We’re handling that right now,” the controller responded.

    An unknown pilot told the tower he saw “flares from the opposite side of the Potomac.”

    “Apparently both aircraft involved are in the river,” the controller said later.

    At the time of the collision, one air traffic controller was working two different tower positions, handling both local and helicopter traffic, an air traffic control source told CNN. The source said the set-up was not uncommon. An internal preliminary Federal Aviation Administration report, however, said staffing was “not normal for the time of day and volume of traffic,” The New York Times reported.

    The National Transportation Safety Board, which is investigating the collision, has recovered both the flight data and cockpit voice recorders – known as the black boxes – from the jet. The helicopter’s flight data and voice recorder – combined in one black box – has also been recovered.

    Emergency response units assess airplane wreckage in the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport on Thursday.

    After weeks of icy temperatures in the region, Wednesday night felt comparatively balmy. Jimmy Mazel, 17, and his girlfriend decided to eat dinner at Gravelly Point Park in Arlington, Virginia. Located just north of Reagan National, the park is a popular destination to watch arriving and departing planes soar overhead. An evening of dining and plane-spotting was interrupted, he said, by “a white light falling out of the sky.”

    Nearby, Roy Best, was standing on his building’s rooftop when he heard a loud noise and saw a bright light flare in the distance.

    “I turned to the side and I saw like a big spark,” he said. “And then, you know, just something falling.”

    At first, Best said, he thought it might have been fireworks. A little later he learned the truth.

    When a direct line with Reagan National Airport rang that Wednesday night, David Hoagland, president of the Washington DC Firefighters Local 36, said first responders expected a routine report of a flight in distress. Instead, they heard: “Crash! Crash! Crash!” he recalled.

    As members of the union rushed to a pier to board a fireboat, burning debris rained down over the Potomac. First responders arrived to find wreckage submerged in the shallow water and almost immediately started finding victims, Hoagland said. Some plane passengers were still strapped in their seats, but removing them proved difficult as sharp pieces of debris ripped the wetsuits worn by first responders.

    The plane was found upside-down in three sections in shallow water – including the partly submerged wing and mangled fuselage. The helicopter wreckage was also found.

    Gravelly Point Park, the destination for plane watchers, is now the site of a makeshift morgue.

    At least 41 bodies – 28 of those remains identified – have been recovered from the murky depths of the Potomac, with near-zero visibility in the water and other difficult conditions hampering the search effort. The plane’s fuselage will need to be removed so the remaining bodies can be retrieved, DC Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said.

    Clouds and cold rain rolled in on Friday – as flights landed and took off and search crews continued their work – magnifying the pall the tragedy has cast over the city and the nation.



    The tragic moments before a helicopter and plane collided mid-air over the Potomac River

    On a cold and foggy afternoon, two aircrafts found themselves on a collision course over the Potomac River. The helicopter, carrying a group of sightseers, and the small plane, with a pilot and passenger on board, were both navigating through the murky skies just moments before disaster struck.

    As the two aircrafts approached each other, the pilot of the plane tried to maneuver out of the way, but it was too late. The helicopter, unaware of the impending danger, continued on its path, leading to a catastrophic collision that sent debris raining down into the river below.

    Eyewitnesses on the ground watched in horror as the two aircrafts collided, creating a fireball in the sky before plummeting into the water below. Rescue crews rushed to the scene, but the damage was already done. Lives were lost, and a sense of shock and disbelief settled over the onlookers.

    In the aftermath of the tragic accident, questions arose about how such a collision could have occurred. Investigations were launched, and safety protocols were scrutinized to prevent such a devastating event from happening again.

    The moments before the helicopter and plane collided will forever be etched in the memories of those who witnessed the tragedy. It serves as a stark reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of vigilance and caution when navigating the skies.

  • Heath Ledger’s Best Onscreen Moments to Rewatch on the Anniversary of His Death


    Heath Ledger made an impact from the moment he first stepped in front of the camera — and his legacy continues to live on long after his death.

    The Australian actor landed 23 roles during his 19-year career, making it nearly impossible not to see his face on the big screen year after year.

    Sadly, Ledger’s life was cut short when he died at the age of 28 in 2008 due to an accidental overdose. Still, his legacy continues in his films — and through his and ex Michelle Williams’ daughter, Matilda, whom they welcomed in 2005.

    Look Back at the Late Heath Ledger’s Legacy on the 17th Anniversary of His Death

    In his memory, Us Weekly is recounting the performances that made him a legend. Relive his most iconic onscreen moments above and read on for more details about his biggest movie hits.

    ’10 Things I Hate About You’ (1999)

    This was the film that put Ledger on the map and gave the world their first look at that gorgeous smile that lit up the screen. One of his most memorable scenes in his career was in this film — his character, Patrick, sang “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You” on the bleachers of the high school stadium to win over Julia Stiles‘ Kat.

    ‘A Knight’s Tale’ (2001)

    Heath Ledgers Best Onscreen Moments 10 Things I Hate About You More

    Ledger was excited to land a more serious role after the rom-com. This movie was when he realized he had become a movie star. “I am affected by all this, you’d be a freak if you weren’t,” he said in an interview with NitrateOnline in 2001 while promoting the film. “I don’t care about it enough to let it affect me, it’s not the be-all and end-all of my life. I truly work to live. I love what I do, but the special moments for me are between ‘action’ and ‘cut,’ and the rest really bores me.”

    ‘Brokeback Mountain’ (2005)

    The love story of two cowboys earned Ledger his first Academy Award nomination. He didn’t win, but earned great praise for his role of Ennis Del Mar. “Heath is very meticulous,” director Ang Lee told The Guardian in 2006. “I don’t advise actors to come to the monitor to watch themselves, but he’s the only exception I made. He gets better as he gets more self-conscious. He sets himself in a zone and believes in it and keeps refining it.”

    ‘The Dark Knight’ (2008)

    Probably Ledger’s most memorable role is one of his last where he portrayed a very dark joker. The actor earned a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in the film. While many thought the intense role drove him to his death, Ledger’s family confirmed that wasn’t the case at all.

    “He had an amazing sense of humor and certainly playing the Joker, for him it was one big gag. He had so much fun doing that,” his sister Kate Ledger said after the Tribeca Film Festival premiere for I Am Heath Ledger, a documentary made about the actor, in 2017. “It was actually the exact opposite. There was no doom and gloom … That was a shock to me that people even thought that, really.”



    Heath Ledger’s Best Onscreen Moments to Rewatch on the Anniversary of His Death

    As we remember the talented actor Heath Ledger on the anniversary of his tragic passing, it’s a fitting tribute to revisit some of his most memorable onscreen moments. From his iconic portrayal of the Joker in “The Dark Knight” to his heartbreaking performance in “Brokeback Mountain,” Ledger left an indelible mark on the world of film. Here are a few of his best onscreen moments to rewatch and celebrate his incredible talent:

    1. The Joker in “The Dark Knight” – Ledger’s portrayal of the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy is widely regarded as one of the greatest performances in cinematic history. His chilling and unpredictable take on the iconic villain earned him a posthumous Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor.

    2. Ennis Del Mar in “Brokeback Mountain” – Ledger delivered a powerful and emotional performance as Ennis, a conflicted cowboy who falls in love with another man in this groundbreaking love story. His chemistry with co-star Jake Gyllenhaal and his raw vulnerability in the role earned him critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination.

    3. Patrick Verona in “10 Things I Hate About You” – Ledger showcased his charm and charisma in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew.” His portrayal of the bad boy with a heart of gold won over audiences and solidified his status as a rising star in Hollywood.

    4. William Thatcher in “A Knight’s Tale” – Ledger displayed his versatility as an actor in this medieval sports comedy, where he played a peasant who poses as a knight to compete in jousting tournaments. His humor, wit, and athleticism shone through in this beloved film.

    5. Bob Dylan in “I’m Not There” – Ledger took on the challenging role of portraying legendary musician Bob Dylan in this unconventional biopic. His transformative performance captured the essence of Dylan’s enigmatic persona and earned him critical praise.

    Heath Ledger may have left us too soon, but his impact on the world of cinema will always be remembered. Take some time to rewatch these incredible performances and honor his legacy on the anniversary of his death.

  • Ladies and Gentlemen, 38 Key Musical Moments on ‘S.N.L.’


    Feb. 14, 1981

    Invited by the host and “Rapture” hitmaker Debbie Harry of Blondie, the Funky 4 + 1 became the first hip-hop group to perform on national network TV, rapping their giddy funk bomb “That’s the Joint.”

    Oct. 3, 1981

    Rod Stewart brought out a surprise guest, Tina Turner, to duet on a high-octane, kick-filled “Hot Legs,” an early step in her fabled comeback.

    Oct. 31, 1981

    At the behest of John Belushi, “S.N.L.” booked the caustic California hardcore provocateurs Fear. A gaggle of rambunctious punks — including members of Minor Threat and Cro-Mags — turned 30 Rock into their personal CBGB, slam-dancing, stage-diving, screaming a four-letter word into the microphone and essentially introducing the concept of “moshing” to middle America. “The real audience at ‘Saturday Night Live’ was scared to death,” remembered the frontman Lee Ving.

    Sept. 25, 1982

    Even though the Queen frontman Freddie Mercury had strained his Earth-shattering voice earlier that day, the band managed to churn through naturally triumphant versions of “Under Pressure” and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.” The band retired from touring and Mercury died in 1991, making this the classic quartet’s final performance in America.

    Jan. 18, 1986

    The Minneapolis college rock icons the Replacements got drunk, secretly cranked their amps, played sloppily, swore and — in the case of the guitarist Bob Stinson — mooned the crowd. “Rock ’n’ roll doesn’t always make for great television,” the frontman Paul Westerberg said in the band biography “Trouble Boys.” “But we were trying to do whatever possible to make sure that was a memorable evening.”

    March 22, 1986

    During his tenure with CBS Records, the Minimalist composer Philip Glass had a brief crossover moment into the pop consciousness with albums of short, glistening pieces like “Glassworks” and “Songs From Liquid Days.” He became the only contemporary classical composer to serve as musical guest.

    Sept. 30, 1989

    After a turbulent decade experimenting with rockabilly, electro-pop, country, synth-rock and blues, Neil Young rejuvenated his career with a muscular, explosive performance of “Rockin’ in the Free World” from his upcoming 19th album, “Freedom.”

  • Adoption process and first moments in Malawi


    Madonna is getting emotional while celebrating her daughter Marcy James’s 19th birthday. The iconic singer looked back on her childhood memories and the moment she first met Mercy as a baby in Malawi. The musician is known for spending quality time with her family and is always prioritizing her kids, and traveling around the world with them. 

    “Happy Birthday Chifundo-AKA-Mercy James! You are such a special soul,” Madonna wrote on Instagram Stories, detailing the story of how she first met her daughter, who was struggling with her health at the time. “When I met you, you were a tiny baby, underneath a mosquito net in an orphanage in Malawi. You were very sick with Malaria but you pulled through.”

    “I whispered in your ear that I would do my best to give you a home as soon as possible,” Madonna wrote about the adoption process, which lasted years before Mercy arrived at her new home with the singer.

    “4 1/2 years later after battling with the Supreme Court in Malawi because they did not allow divorced women to adopt children. You came to live with us. You arrived with your hand in your mouth silent and refusing to speak,” Madonna continued. “Who knew that you would grow up to be the kindest person with the biggest heart and the most infectious laugh.”

    Madonna also praised Mercy’s artistry and shared the love and appreciation she has for her daughter, as the pair continue to share a special bond. “A talented musician- an accomplished photographer and honestly, the most sensible of all my children,” she concluded.

    “You are the one that everyone goes to for advice, or a shoulder to cry on. You hold a special place in the hearts of everyone that knows you. Especially me.”



    Adoption Process and First Moments in Malawi

    Adopting a child is a life-changing experience that comes with its own set of challenges and rewards. In Malawi, the adoption process can be a lengthy and complex one, but the first moments with your new child are sure to be filled with love and joy.

    The adoption process in Malawi typically involves working with a licensed adoption agency or social welfare organization. Prospective adoptive parents must meet certain eligibility requirements and undergo a thorough screening process before being matched with a child. This can include background checks, home visits, and interviews to ensure that the adoptive parents are able to provide a safe and loving environment for the child.

    Once the adoption is finalized, the first moments with your new child are truly special. Whether you are meeting your child for the first time in a Malawian orphanage or welcoming them into your home for the first time, the bond that forms between adoptive parents and their children is incredibly powerful. From the first hugs and smiles to the first shared meals and bedtime stories, these moments are the beginning of a new chapter in your family’s life.

    While the adoption process in Malawi may have its challenges, the love and joy that come with welcoming a new child into your family are truly priceless. The first moments with your new child are a time to cherish and celebrate, as you embark on this incredible journey of parenthood together.

  • Raleigh police chief officer wounded in shooting; ex-wife of suspect details terrifying moments


    RALEIGH, N.C. (WTVD) — Raleigh Police Chief Estella Patterson praised First Class Officer Max Gillick, who was wounded during a shooting Tuesday as he responded to a call in the Renaissance Park neighborhood.

    “He’s a hero. Very heroic, very courageous,” Patterson said.

    Patterson delivered remarks Friday morning at a Raleigh Police Department promotion ceremony, where she shared more details on Gillick’s actions.

    “As many of you know, Officer Gillick was shot Tuesday evening as he was performing his duties and protecting the victim who had been assaulted in a domestic situation,” said Patterson.

    As police arrived on the scene, they heard shots from inside the home. An officer called for backup and a person inside continued shooting. During the gunfire exchange, Gillick was wounded and the suspect was killed.

    Gillick underwent surgery Tuesday night at WakeMed and remains in critical condition.

    “While he is progressing well in his recovery, he is not out of the woods. He still needs, desperately needs our prayers and positive vibes,” said Patterson.

    Authorities identified the shooting suspect as 70-year-old Antonio Rodrigues, and the victim as 73-year-old John Rowe; both men died. The incident happened inside the home of Rodrigues’ ex-wife, Jill Rohner.

    “(Antonio) just came in and shot John. And so, John fell to the floor and I was on the phone with 911 and was screaming bloody murder for them to please hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry,” said Rohner in an interview with our newsgathering partners at The News & Observer.

    According to court records, Rodrigues had pleaded guilty to several counts of stalking and disclosing private images in 2021 and 2022, cases in which Rohner was the victim.

    “I have pleaded that (Rodrigues) get serious health and mental health kind of help because I suspected that he could snap at any minute. He was just constantly harassing me,” said Rohner.

    She said Rodrigues had previously been violent toward her; according to The News & Observer, a Carteret County judge granted their divorce in 2014.

    “The first place he held me down with a gun was in a home in Carteret County,” Rohner said, and she added that she believed the townhome in Raleigh felt safe.

    She said the suspect, Antonio Rodrigues, had previously been violent toward her.

    Rodrigues was on probation at the time of the shooting, with Rohner calling for victims of domestic violence to receive more protection.

    “He could have killed me. He opted not to. We were face-to-face and I was pleading with him like, ‘What are you doing? Why, please stop.’ And he said ‘You took everything from me,’” said Rohner.

    Rohner told ABC11 that she was in a relationship with Rowe and had planned on moving in with him.

    “A couple of years ago, I met this wonderful man, John Rowe, who I have recently said to people, (it) took me 67 years, but I finally got it right, found the right person, was very much in love,” said Rohner.

    This is the second high-profile shooting within a week for the Raleigh Police Department, coming days after an incident at a North Hills restaurant, in which two people, including the suspect died, and a third person was injured.

    The incidents underscore broader efforts to ensure a widespread law enforcement presence, as the department works to fill open positions.

    “A day like (the promotion ceremony), when people see advancement, the opportunity for advancement, they want to be a part of this team and so they come to the department. Our challenge moving forward is not in recruiting and retention. We want to make sure that our leaders are doing everything that they can to keep the people that we have,” said Patterson.

    A Raleigh Police Department spokesperson told ABC11 there are 51 vacancies, down from 84 vacancies at the beginning of 2024. On Saturday, Raleigh Police are holding a hiring event at the Law Enforcement Training Center, which begins at 9 a.m.

  • 10 Emotional Pixar Movie Moments That Aren’t Meant For Kids


    Pixar has been captivating audiences with its heartwarming feature films for an impressive thirty years. With new Pixar movies being made every year, the iconic studio never ceases to dazzle its viewers, no matter how old they are. Of course, part of what makes Pixar movies so popular revolves around who they are made for. While the films primarily target young audiences, the filmmakers carefully craft each film so they can be enjoyed just as much by adults.

    In fact, many scenes in the best Pixar films actually resonate much more deeply when watching them as an adult. This is particularly true when the movies delve into more emotional topics. While the stories and dialogue are generally simple enough for youthful audiences to understand what is going on, the deeper messages often pack a much stronger punch for older viewers. Certain scenes in Pixar films prove that filmmakers were thinking about the grown-ups just as much as the kids when making their movies.

    Andy Lets Woody Go

    Toy Story 3 (2010)

    Toy Story 3 thoroughly stunned viewers around the world when it was released in 2010, over a decade after the previous addition to the franchise. Despite many being unsure what to expect from this tertiary installment, viewers were blown away by the maturity and emotional depth of the film as a whole. This surprising complexity was most apparent in the film’s final scene, which featured Andy finally bidding a bittersweet farewell to his favorite toy, giving Woody to Bonnie along with the rest of his toys before heading off to college.

    Toy Story 5: Release Date, Cast, Story & Everything We Know

    Despite Toy Story 4’s perfect ending between Buzz and Woody, Disney has announced Toy Story 5, and here’s everything we know so far.

    This emotional scene really hit home for many of the adults in the audience, with few dry eyes left in the crowd by the time the credits started rolling. As an adult, it is never easy to say goodbye to the people who have meant so much to you for such a long time, especially when it is unclear if you will ever have the opportunity to see them again. On its surface, the final scene in Toy Story 3 may have just been about moving on from a toy, but for the adults watching, it was clearly about so much more.

    Anxiety Goes Out Of Control

    Inside Out 2 (2024)

    Experiencing new, more complex emotions is a natural part of growing older. Unfortunately, not all of those emotions are things people want to be feeling all the time. This idea formed the foundation for Inside Out 2‘s story, the long-awaited sequel to Pixar’s Oscar-winning 2015 film. In Inside Out 2, Riley’s mind is forced to welcome a group of new emotions led by Anxiety. In the film’s climactic scene, Anxiety begins to spiral out of control, forming a violent storm of negative emotions and dark thoughts in Riley’s mind, sending Riley into a panic attack.

    While the children in the audience can likely have at least a general grasp of what is happening in the scene, this pivotal moment is bound to feel much more emotional for adults. The scene perfectly captures the panicked, overwhelming feeling of an anxiety attack, something so many people experience as they grow older. Seeing this sensation experienced through the eyes of a teenager who is helpless to fight it is deeply heartbreaking, particularly for viewers who have recently experienced the same type of event.

    8

    Marlin Gives Up Hope

    Finding Nemo (2003)

    One of Pixar’s earliest films, Finding Nemo, tells the story of an overprotective clownfish who goes on a perilous journey across the ocean with his new friend in a desperate attempt to rescue his son. In a tragic turn of events, when Marlin finally reaches the end of his journey, he is led to believe that Nemo has already passed away. This immediately sends Marlin into a deep depression, prompting him to bid farewell to Dory, before sorrowfully turning around and beginning to head home.

    The heartbreaking moment is an emotional gut punch, one which resonates especially deeply for grown-ups who have experienced a similar sensation at some point in their lives.

    Few animated films have ever been able to capture the same sense of hopelessness the filmmakers were able to present through Marlin in this scene. The heartbreaking moment is an emotional gut punch, one which resonates especially deeply for grown-ups who have experienced a similar sensation at some point in their lives. Marlin has not only lost his only living family member, but he has now discovered that his entire mission was for nothing. It is nearly impossible for a younger viewer to fully grasp the utter despair he feels in this scene.

    The “Married Life” Montage

    Up (2009)

    Carl And Ellie In Their Elderly Years In Disney Pixar's Up

    The first fifteen minutes of Up are not only one of the most iconic sequences of any Pixar movie but one of the most frequently discussed openings in cinema history. In this single, decades-spanning sequence, viewers get to watch Carl and Ellie’s entire relationship play out before them, following them from their tender first meeting through Ellie’s tragic death, highlighting all the hardships they faced in between. The montage is boldly unafraid to show all the highs and lows of their time together, even depicting Ellie suffering a miscarriage, and subsequently sinking into a depression.

    Sorry, But Cars Isn’t The Pixar Franchise That Needs Another Sequel – This One Does

    Pixar is reportedly developing a new Cars movie, but out of all of the studio’s franchises, Cars isn’t the one that needs a sequel.

    This sequence, often dubbed the “Married Life” montage, thoroughly stunned viewers, thanks to its breathtaking visual storytelling and heavy, emotional themes. The montage undoubtedly feels directed more toward older viewers, with some of the darker aspects (such as Ellie’s miscarriage) likely going over the heads of most children. Backed by its impeccable musical score, the “Married Life” montage brings audiences on an entire journey in a matter of minutes, one that adult viewers will continue thinking about as they progress through their own lives.

    WALL-E Forgets EVE

    WALL-E (2008)

    WALL-E features one of the most unconventional but emotional love stories the studio has ever put together. With only minimal use of dialogue, the film shows two futuristic robots named WALL-E and EVE falling in love with each other as they go on a daring, beautiful journey through the stars together. In a shocking turn, however, WALL-E is nearly crushed in a climactic scene, causing him to lose all of his memories of EVE, and revert into a mindless, trash-cleaning robot, much to the heartbreak of EVE.

    Anyone can understand the tragedy of this scene, as watching the characters’ tender romance fade away is heartbreaking at any age. However, the scene hits especially close to home for older audiences, as the thought of losing one’s memory becomes increasingly relevant with age. For people who have known someone who has begun to lose their memory as they grow older, the scene is heartbreaking. WALL-E may be a robot, but his human-like personality and emotions make these moments all the more tragic.

    5

    Ian Never Meets His Dad

    Onward (2020)

    Much of Onward, follows the dangerous quest of two brothers, Ian and Barley, in an attempt to interact with their dad one final time after (partially) bringing him back to life for a day. Going against what many viewers would expect, the film actually ends with Ian, the younger brother, never getting to have the interaction with his dad that he had always dreamed about. Instead, he comes to realize that Barley had been like a father figure to him for his whole life and finds a newfound appreciation for his brother.

    Onward‘s ending came as a major surprise to many, offering a poignant, bittersweet resolution that few saw coming. The idea that the film was inspired by a true story made the ending even more emotional, prompting many adult viewers to think deeply about their relationships with their own siblings. The messages about the importance of brotherhood and the realization that our role models may not always be who we expect them to be resonated very deeply with countless adults, even more so than the younger viewers who may have focused more on the fantasy elements.

    Woody And Buzz Go Their Separate Ways

    Toy Story 4 (2019)

    The ending of Toy Story 4 left audiences rather divided in 2019, coming nearly a decade after Toy Story 3. Throughout the franchise, audiences spent decades watching the bond between Woody and Buzz grow, even becoming one of the most iconic friendships in film history. The fourth feature-length installment made a bold, unforeseen choice, however, electing to end their latest adventure with Woody and Buzz bidding each other farewell, as Woody embarks on a new chapter of his life with Bo Peep.

    Anyone watching Toy Story 4 could easily grasp the bittersweet nature of their goodbye, but only those who had been watching the films since they first came out could truly understand the emotional impact of this final moment.

    The Toy Story franchise began in 1995, meaning that these characters (and their friendship) had been a staple in some people’s lives for 24 full years. Seeing this unexpectedly come to an end was heartbreaking for these dedicated viewers, but also understandable given the complex story and message of the film as a whole.

    3

    Bing Bong Fades Away

    Inside Out (2015)

    At the start of 2015, few people would have guessed that a character named Bing Bong would be making them cry at the movie theater, but this proved to be the case for countless audience members. Pixar’s 2015 Inside Out explores the inner workings of Riley’s mind, personifying her emotions and creating a whole world out of her memories, thoughts, and feelings. This includes Riley’s former imaginary friend, Bing Bong. In a pivotal scene late in the film, Bing Bong sacrifices himself to save Joy, encouraging her to make Riley’s dreams come true as he fades away.

    While no one was happy to see Bing Bong disappear, the tragic scene hit particularly close to home for the grown-ups in the audience, inspiring them to reflect on the imaginary playmates from their childhood that they had since forgotten about. To make matters even more emotionally devastating, the scene also prompted those viewers to look back on all the dreams they had when they were young, and whether they achieved them. Bing Bong’s last words brought tears to the eyes of numerous adults as they pondered whether they ever made it to the moon.

    2

    Miguel Sings To Coco

    Coco (2017)

    Over the years, Pixar has touched on the topic of memory many times, but Coco stands out as perhaps the most poignant examination of the concept thus far. Despite the film including many loud, exciting moments, the climactic scene of Coco is actually one of the most peaceful. After returning to the land of the living, Miguel finds his great-grandmother Mamá Coco and softly plays her the song that her father wrote for her many years ago. The tune sparks Coco’s memory, even leading her to begin singing with Miguel.

    Even details as minor as the inflection in the characters’ voices as they sing are enough to bring a tear to the eye of any adult viewer.

    Every element of the scene works together perfectly to form a beautiful, emotional moment. Even details as minor as the inflection in the characters’ voices as they sing are enough to bring a tear to the eye of any adult viewer. Not only are the lyrics heartfelt and deeply moving, but the effect they have on Coco reminds the audience of the power of love, and how the people we love dearly can never truly leave us. Coco offers a heartwarming message for anyone who has lost someone close to them, making it even more powerful for older viewers.

    1

    Sully Says Bye To Boo

    Monsters, Inc. (2001)

    Pixar is no stranger to emotional goodbyes, but many would agree that the most memorable one comes near the end of the 2001 instant classic, Monsters, Inc. After completing his crazy mission to rescue Boo and return her to the human world safely, Sully realizes that he will have to say goodbye to the young girl. This proves to be very difficult for him, as the two have formed a strong bond throughout the film. Nevertheless, he knows what he has to do, and offers her an emotional farewell before returning to the monster world once again.

    For Pixar fans who are closer in age to Boo, it can be difficult to fully grasp the sadness of Sully having to leave his new friend. Even though they come from different worlds, Sully had formed a deep emotional bond with Boo, coming to care for her the way a parent would. Leaving her would mean that he would no longer be able to protect her, a feeling that any parent knows is unbelievably difficult. The scene is sad no matter what, but even more so when seen through Sully’s perspective.
