Deadly Palm Beach County jet crash: Gilbertsville man identified as captain

East Coast Jets has issued a condolence statement for Jeff Gregory, a former employee identified as the captain of the Learjet that crashed in Palm Beach County. FOX 29 Philadelphia's report connects the Florida tragedy to Gilbertsville in Montgomery County, where Gregory was from.

Reporter Jeff Skversky says funeral arrangements are underway in Limerick, Pennsylvania. All nine people aboard the Learjet 60 died in the crash.

The segment also covers the investigation into pieces of the aircraft breaking off before impact. That sequence does not, by itself, establish what caused the crash. NTSB board member Tom Chapman says transportation disaster assistance specialists are on the scene to support affected families.

The report drew more than half a million views in its first day, far beyond the station's usual audience for a regular upload. Alongside footage and radio transmissions from the crash, its local reporting identifies Gregory's connection to the Delaware Valley and the Pennsylvania communities where arrangements are being made.
