Devastating Crash Update…
Nathalia earned her pilot's license while she was still in high school. Danny Rayes includes that detail alongside photographs of the young co-pilot in "Devastating Crash Update…," shifting from footage of the Florida jet's descent to the people aboard.
The Short drew an estimated 3.7 million views in its first day, nearly eight times the usual first-day audience for his Shorts. It is a sober subject for a channel whose widely watched uploads include internet curiosities, food-blogger commentary and the awkwardness of acting.
Rayes identifies Nathalia as the 20-year-old co-pilot, then shows a photograph of a tech entrepreneur and his wife while describing other passengers aboard. The update also includes emergency radio audio and automated cockpit warnings. Its focus is the victims and the flight's final moments, rather than an explanation of what caused the crash.
Rayes has continued covering the incident: "New Details About The Crash…" has also passed a million views.
