Victims of deadly Florida jet crash identified

Frances Wang's report moves between photographs supplied by families and the difficult work of establishing what happened to the Learjet that crashed in Florida. Adults identified in the FOX 5 New York report include Adam Robinson, Helen Sharp, Charmie Fair, Rachel Reed and Anita Maria Satina.

The report, titled "Victims of deadly Florida jet crash identified," drew an estimated 470,000 views in its first day, compared with roughly 5,000 for the channel's usual regular upload. Its focus is both the people aboard and an investigation still at an early stage.

Dashcam footage and air traffic control audio document the emergency. In a briefing excerpt, National Transportation Safety Board member Thomas Chapman says, "Weather conditions are a major focus of the investigation." He also describes evidence that parts of the aircraft broke apart before impact. Those preliminary findings do not establish what caused the crash.

Wang closes with the recovery effort on the ground: difficult conditions, residents displaced from their homes and the continuing search for the cockpit voice recorder.
