Plane crash kills nine in Florida

The crew said they were managing ice and facing moderate turbulence. Less than a minute later, according to Channel 4 News's account, the radio exchange had become an emergency: the aircraft was descending rapidly.

The broadcaster's Short, "Plane crash kills nine in Florida", brings together those communications and dashcam footage of the fatal impact near Cresthaven. All nine people aboard died. The weather reports describe conditions the crew encountered, but do not establish the cause of the crash.

The upload reached about 185,000 views in its first thirteen hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short.

Emergency vehicles fill a rain-soaked street in the report, which also includes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis speaking at a briefing. Channel 4 reports that nobody on the ground was injured, although around 600 residents were evacuated from a nearby trailer park.
