Palm Beach Crash Victims Identified

What happened

Updated 8:00pm ET

Families identified seven of the nine people killed in Sunday's Learjet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida, including two young children.
They named Adam Robinson, Helen Sharp, their children Emma and Charlie, friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr, and the children's nanny, Anita Maria Cetina.
Investigators recovered three pieces of the left elevator, a tail part controlling the plane's up-and-down angle, between 1.3 and 3.8 miles from the crash site.
NTSB member Tom Chapman said the discovery confirmed parts separated before impact, but investigators do not know whether that caused or followed the loss of control.
Investigators expected to begin recovering wreckage from the water-filled impact crater Wednesday, while the cause of the crash remains undetermined.

How the left told it

Left-leaning outlets focused on evidence of the plane breaking apart and the human toll. The New York Times highlighted the tail component as a “very important piece of evidence,” quoting Chapman, while CNN described the victims and the crew's desperate final radio calls.

How the right told it

Right-leaning outlets largely focused on the breakup evidence, possible weather factors and the victims. The New York Post highlighted “important pieces” separating before impact while noting the cause remained unclear; Breitbart described the passengers and profiled pilot Jeff Gregory as a husband, father and devout Christian.
