ETimes brings a family's account into its coverage of the fatal Palm Beach County Learjet crash: co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras told her boyfriend she was encountering turbulence and ice shortly before the aircraft went down.
Her stepfather, Thiago Corteleti, says the text came ten minutes before the crash. The report displays his account, attributed on screen to the Post, before moving to footage of the impact and testimony from nearby residents. All nine people aboard died.
The upload has drawn about 27,000 views in its early hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos. It is one of several ETimes reports on the crash, with this installment focusing on Filgueiras' communication with someone close to her.
The compilation also includes Anthony Blackmon describing debris striking his home and Roger Forcelle recalling the aircraft passing over his residence. At a press briefing, Governor Ron DeSantis says there were no reports of deaths on the ground at that point.
Later, air traffic control recordings capture the crew declaring an emergency and reporting a rapid descent. The cause of the crash remains under investigation; the family's account of the text does not establish what brought the aircraft down.
