- On Sunday, a Learjet crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people aboard, including 20-year-old co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, who was identified on Monday.
- Departing from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, the private jet encountered severe weather at 35,000 feet; the pilot reported, "We have light, clear ice that is manageable and moderate turbulence," before declaring an emergency during rapid descent.
- Ten minutes before impact, Filgueiras sent a final text to her boyfriend, Justin: "I've got turbulence, I've got ice." She held 1,300 hours of flying experience, though her license did not permit commanding the aircraft.
