Passengers Flying Into Phoenix Join Together In Singing “Amazing Grace” To Honor Charlie Kirk
Political commentator and podcast host Ben Ferguson flew from Houston to Phoenix on September 20, the day before Charlie’s memorial service. As the plane prepared to land, the passengers joined together to sing “Amazing Grace” as a tribute to Charlie Kirk.
Ferguson recorded a short clip of the passengers uniting to sing the beloved Christian hymn. At the end, you hear one of the passengers exclaim, “For Charlie!” before others start clapping.
The video has generated over 2.9 million views since Ferguson shared it on Facebook.
