Victims of Florida plane crash include a 20-year-old who got her pilot’s license as a teen
Her family said she earned her pilot’s license at 17 and had more than 1,300 flight hours before the jet crashed with nine aboard.
- 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.
- Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the scene as a "cataclysmic plane crash" that left a "big crater on the side of the road," confirming no casualties were reported on the ground.
- Palm Beach County officials evacuated 600 residents from a neighboring mobile home park while the Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board launched investigations into the crash.
