The twin-engine plane crashed shortly after missing an initial approach, with officials indicating the pilot did not respond to air traffic control's low altitude alerts before the accident. Investigators noted the last moments of the flight suggested the aircraft was intact before descending rapidly. Among the deceased was the 2022 NCAA woman of the year, showcasing the family's impressive achievements.
They were a wonderful family. The world lost a lot of very good people who were going to do a lot of good.
The pilot had missed the initial approach and requested a new approach plan before the crash, with no distress call sent.
