Is there any indication that the plane's control surfaces,
like the horizontal stabilizer,
may have come off and compromised in that end part?
They may have. We do have some evidence that there was some breakup
of the aircraft before impact. We're still seeking to determine that.
Yes, ma'am.
Terry Parker, WPBF 25.
Do you think that given the impact of this crash
that the black box will be intact and
that you will be able to retrieve some
of this very valuable information from it?
It's a two-part question.
First, was there a black box?
Our indication early here from aircraft maintenance records
is that a cockpit voice recorder was
installed on this aircraft.
What we don't know is whether that recorder was still on board.
Sometimes these things change over time.
So we're still seeking to determine whether there was a recorder.
And then, of course, we're very hopeful that we can recover it.
Too early to know, but that will be very important data.
I do wonder if, and maybe this is for the Sheriff's Office,
but do you have any idea about the ages of those who were on board
and can you confirm whether any minors were on board?
We're not allowed to talk about that at this time,
nor do we have the full information yet.
