Father mourns 20-year-old co-pilot killed in Florida Learjet crash: 'To the last minute, fighting'

It is customary among law firms that the moment they file a lawsuit to call a press conference. This is not today's topic. We're suing no one yet. The purpose of today's press conference is to express, through Allen and this law firm, our condolences to everyone who perished, to their families, to their friends, and to And to make it known that we are suffering along with you. And if you've been reading the media accounts of everyone who trained her or was involved in flying with her, that's all you'll hear. She was at the top of her class in everything that she did and she was perfectly qualified to be the co-pilot on this flight despite her tender years. I wanted to be by her side, inside the plane, to help, to be by her, it seemed like I had to be next to her. She made me so proud. She showed me what it is to be a hero, because once you see that coming, a lot of the big boys, military or whatever, they can't handle. And she was the one over there, to the last minute, fighting. And I did listen to that many times, trying to find a clue in my head how that happened. And wow, she's tough. And make. My other three, you know, I got to make my four kids and my wife and myself proud. So I have to find a way. Natalia doesn't want to see a father falling apart. So I got to, I'm going to find a way. I'm going to find a way to make her proud, my other three kids and my wife proud.
