Victims of deadly Florida jet crash identified

That was a major development. We got into our newsroom this afternoon from the NTSB. We are also now hearing from the families of those on board for the very first time. An entire family is now gone. The youngest victims, just two and four years old. Seven passengers and two pilots on board were all killed when that jet came down yesterday afternoon. The jet was flying from Austin, Texas. To the Bahamas, among the nine, Adam Robinson, his wife, Helen Sharp, and their two young children, you just saw them there, two-year-old Charlie and four-year-old Emma, these photos you see here were all posted to social media as part. Of a joint statement from the families, Adam and Helen here are described as devoted parents who were warm, generous and touched countless lives. Their two friends, Charmy Fair and Rachel Reed, traveling with them were full of joy and adventure and all in on each other. The family's nanny, Anita Maria Satina, loved ones say cared for the two kids with such tenderness and devotion. The statement goes on to say that their hearts are also with the families of the pilots. One of them heard in this air traffic control recording just moments before the crash. 722 Bravo Delta, we're descending 8,000, mayday, mayday, we're descending 10,000 feet per minute. And one of the biggest developments we learned from the NTSB today, there is evidence suggesting the plane may have already started breaking apart before it even hit the ground. Family members quickly identified 20-year-old Natalia Gadea-Fegueras as a co-pilot. TMZ is also reporting that the other pilot was a 55-year-old captain. NTSB officials say the crew requested permission to climb higher as they reported ice buildup, moderate turbulence, and precipitation. And that's when things quickly took a turn. Weather conditions are a major focus of the investigation. You all saw what the weather was like here at the surface. What we have to determine is what the weather conditions were like at altitude. They were at about 35,000 feet, and that's still something that has to be determined. We do have some evidence that there was some breakup of the aircraft before impact. We're still seeking to determine that. Officials still can't confirm whether the plane actually flew through an active thunderstorm, but investigators say weather is a key factor they're looking into. Conditions on the ground, even in the days to come, have also made it difficult for crews recovering the wreckage. Hundreds of people in the surrounding neighborhood have been displaced, and there's no word on when they might be able to return home. The NTSB also revealed today it's looking into a possible injury involving a man who was leaving in his car from the area. Now investigators are searching for critical evidence, including a possible cockpit voice recorder. Maintenance records do indicate one had been installed, but it's unclear whether it was still on board or even survived the crash. And even if it did, Natasha, recovery won't be easy because the impact crater there is filled with water and debris is really scattered just across a large area impacted. Natasha.
