I don’t believe anything Russia says! Why send this plane across the water? Didn’t they have any closer airports?!
What’s funny American News stays away from America’s subjects let’s worry about America
The only thing I hate about APPLE is after 5 or 10 years the product goes out no more updates or discontinued product after paying a lot of money for a Apple product! this sucks!!!🍎😡 Bad Apples 🙈🙉🙊.
This country needs to make up his mind he talks s*** about Russia and then worry them as well
Why is it every winter people act like it’s a surprise us American people believe this stupid
Putin is a good man leave him alone
A huge terrible waste of America’s money you idiots
The displaced ukrainians cuz they turned against their own country
Thank God Texas stood up against America stupidity or we’d be doing the same thing with Texas
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God bless you all
Only this country would brag about apples ignorance and f******and fleecing of America
You’re bragging about the overpriced of items in America and wonder why CEOs are killed
⛄️ ☃️ 🎄 🎅 🎁 Happy Holidays!!
Ayy!
can lester grow back his mustache or what
Remarkable NBC team by mainly feminists cat lovers 😂😂
100s of “bird strikes” riddle the tail of the aircraft with bigger holes. Sure looks like shrapnel, not bird strike
Thank you Lester and Team members for your commitments, to bringing us real news, which are informative and educational …Here’s wishing you all a blessed and prosperous new year❤❤❤❤❤❤😂
Nothing about the drones in the ocean in nj…seems meda is bought n payed for this is why we don’t watch the news…crap….
I saw reports of shrapnel holes in the body of aircraft, no feathers
It looks like a Russian SAM brought down that airliner
Did the birds cause the bullet holes in the side of the plane?
Bitdstrike??? The plane is riddled with holes
An “inhuman” attack during a WAR.
I think this is the definition of WAR. Ever actually STUDIED the history of WARS? It’s NOT a football game and there are NO people protected in the stadiums.
Did pilots survive??? That’sy question because they def saved lives😢
Let’s have coverage on the obvious missile shrapnel in the tail section!
Happy holidays lester holt and family looking on from spice isle grenada
Lester Holt you are amazing
Usually you think we are so interested in the whether it should take up at least 20% of your segment. But this time you go on and on about something that happened in Russia.
i love watching Morgan Chesky
Happy holidays
Nice touch showing the team behind the magic
That Azerbaijani airplane was hit by some kind of a surface to air missile. I saw a video showing multiple holes in the fuselage and tail like what would be caused by a air bursting munition The projectile damaged the flight control system. The pilot had to maneuver only using the engines. Russians say it was a bird strike yeah sure it was.
here is a video showing the perorations NBC is afraid to show you.

Prayers for the people of Ukraine and to the true Christians of Russia 🙏
It seems like this guy is yelling at us. Why don’t they speak in a normal voice. It’s all forceful preaching or yelling . I withdrew 3 years ago and will never go back to watching news of any media. It’s brainwashing at a high level.
It was shot down by the Russians.
Thank you for the information. The news about the plane crash is heartbreaking, and I’m keeping those affected in my thoughts. The winter storms are concerning, and I hope everyone stays safe and prepared.
Biden ‘s legacy also includes all of the Dead soldiers because of the wars that he helped to create and support. He allowed his warmongering leadership to lead him astray. It cost us billions it cost them everything
do people routinely film planes landing away from the destination or are those responsible observing their work?
Merry Christmas. Thank you crew🇨🇦
Let us remember that Russia claimed to be denazifying Ukraine as they air strike Ukraine on the first night of Hanukkah.
JESUS SON Of GOD, HAVE MERCY On all Departing SOULS AMEN.
Ukrainians need to fend for themselves after Racist Trump help KGB Thug Putin take Ukraine territories.
What about the Christians in Gaza😢
my brother my friend keep up the amazing work 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Great newscast. Thanks to Lester Holt for his kind words and for showing us the staff who work behind the scenes. They look like a very carefully selected group of highly intelligent people. Loved Morgan Chesky’s suit, tie and wide spread collars. Didn’t like his handkerchief, though… just didn’t seem to match. Thanks everyone for the great journalism on NBC Nightly News. Good job!
Well the 2nd Bird Flew is that they don’t know rather to fly south, north, west, or east because of this weather and they’re bringing down airplanes.
Shut up Lester
Where is Christian iconography on Christmas? I only see a Jewish Menorrah. The tree is supposed to be it?
I wonder if the Ukraine considers Yugoslavia consecutive Slovakia and that the Slovakian people it could be karma
Putin is pure evil.
Liberal Lester lacks credibility.
It was really nice to include everyone who works on all of the news segments.
We are supposed to consume an apple a day. At 4 trillion dollars, it’s not clear who’s consuming whom.
Happy holidays thanks for all things you do
revolution schedule party 💚🎉 j19
❤❤❤❤🎉
One of the things that divide us, Lester, is our President-elect vowing to pardon the rioters from January 6, and also to punish the members of the committee that investigated the incident. The rioters caused mayhem, destruction, injuries, and even death. Anyone who is doing backflips about this horror show should Google “Trump Speech January 6”. You can read a transcript and watch video (from NPR). There are no civil words to describe the hatred on display during Trump’s gigantic hissy fit😮
First off, Merry Christmas to everyone. Now: as you know, the official clown circus won’t be coming to town until Jan. 20th. Until then, can we please stop referring to the clown in chief as The President? He ain’t there yet! I’m not looking forward to four years of watching his antics.
Lame af
Never forget Putin invaded Ukraine 🇺🇦. He is a monster and a brutal dictator.
HIPPO:
call the hippo, MAMALA 😂
З Різдвом Христовим і Наступаючим Новим 2025 роком всіх працівників NBC News вітаю ,бажаю здійснення всіх мрій !💙💛:-)
Reports says they where was gun fire form the ground, due to the damages in the hydraulic system, pilots couldn’t control the plane, but they tried their best, take the that from a former pilot, and and a former mechanic
Can they not put something like a cage, around the engines to keep birds out?
NBC, Still lying for the democratic party
I don’t care about the election. People need help in Western North Carolina. You stopped covering that. Trump will get Musk to help save the rich. I don’t think New Year will hel0 American tax payer.
Everyday is a blessed day
usa should mind own business & think about greenland. greenland good investment during climate change.
Bird strike…it was a russian airsrike..
Unfortunately, Trump is just another guy he’s not a super hero that can stop the war with a lightning bolt. He can say what he wants, but Putin’s been at war for years now, and I don’t think he’s just going to quit until he gets what he wants.
Good on Lester for taking Christmas off. Merry Christmas to all!
Americans responsible
Xmas is for pagans
Good news
America funds all sides of conflicts, more money made
You people still believe the 9/11 official report about the so called planes leaving nothing behind in the so called plane crashes????¿??🤔
Have America stop buying energy from Russia
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where are all the Black people?
Fake war in Ukraine
This will never be anything other than a small fraction of the news.
Happiest of holidays!
All the employees look very happy . I see them all happy at work. This is nice to see.
Why does the dialogues sound so frenetic and dramatic.? It is news not drama!
I wouldn’t give this news a bit of time or this uneducated black news reporter
The skies aren’t safe in and around Russia.
So, some are claiming it was hit by Russian air defence, but there’s no sign of any damage or smoke coming from the aircraft as it glides to impact.
Merry Christmas y’all. I’ve appreciated your hard work..,everyday & especially when I am overseas. Simple to access & I can find out what’s happening
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
Nice to met the NBC CREW ❤❤❤❤ CHEERS 2025🎉🎉🎉🎉
just epic. Lisa Frank had better Trapper Keeper designs in the 1980’s & 1990’s.
Fake News
That hyppo looks like a shaved pitbull puppy!!!!!!
y’all so mean. Pig puppy wants it’s fur back.
Thiev’en fur from a Puppy, Jesus b behind dis!!!!!
Prayers of Calamity from weather 🌲
Bless everyone involved.
NBC always hiding the truth – there was bullet holes on the plane from other media news yesterday smdh
Hi Lester, an actor friend of mine Geoffrey J Deuel 12/23/24 has died and no one has mention him. Its so sad to me. He was such a nice guy. His wife cant get the word out, most people have moved or phone # changed. So I said I would try to help her. So Please give Geoffrey J Deuel a mention. He was the brother of Peter Deuel. Thank you, Carole Peters 😢
Merry Christmas everyone
oh my God, your news agency is the most woke agenda. I’ve ever seen in my whole life. Weeeeeee
So glad the fake news could twist it again
