Nine dead in Florida plane crash identified, billionaire, wife, children and friends killed

A Learjet 60 jetliner dived and crashed into the ground in Palm Beach County, Florida, on the 1st, killing all nine people on board. The identities of the nine deceased have been confirmed. Four members of the family of Adam Robinson, the 44-year-old Texas technology company CEO and billionaire, were among them.

According to the New York Post, the plane was carrying seven passengers, including Robinson, his wife Helen, 4-year-old daughter Emma, ​​2-year-old son Charlie, the children's nanny Anita Maria Apellido Cetina, and the couple's friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr.

The passenger plane's pilots and co-pilots were 55-year-old Jeff Gregory and 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras. During the radio communication with the air traffic controller, Filgueiras's screams broke the hearts of all walks of life. In the background, Gregory could be heard praying the Lord's Prayer.

From Robinson's LinkedIn profile, we can see that he worked at Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital in the past, and later founded software companies "Retention.com" and "RB2B" and served as CEO. His wife Helen is a ceramic artist who often shares her works on Instagram and posts happy photos of her husband and their two children.

The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board has not confirmed the cause of the plane crash, but it has confirmed that the passenger plane was flying in temperatures as low as minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit (about minus 45.56 degrees Celsius), encountered turbulence and icing, and began to disintegrate before hitting the ground.
