20-year-old co-pilot identified in horrific south Florida Learjet crash | What we know

Photographs of Nathalia beside a small aircraft accompany a father's confirmation: his daughter was serving as co-pilot aboard the Learjet that crashed in South Florida.

In 11Alive's report, the anchor identifies her as 20 years old and says her father, Alan Vigueras, confirmed she died in the crash. The FAA said none of the nine people aboard survived.

The flight was traveling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas. The report describes turbulence, icing and precipitation at cruising altitude before the aircraft's rapid descent into Greenacres, in Palm Beach County.

The short update drew about 36,000 views in its first six hours, already far beyond the audience 11Alive's Shorts usually reach across a full first day.

Eyewitness footage in the report shows burning debris and a crater in the torn-up roadway. Emergency responders block access to the scene as the anchor sets out the flight's route and the confirmation that there were no survivors.
