All nine occupants aboard a private plane were killed after it crashed and exploded in a residential neighborhood in the Palm Beach area of Florida on Sunday, November 1, during a flight between the state of Texas and the Bahamas.
The first victim of the crash has been officially identified as 20-year-old Nathalia Gadelha, who was serving as the co-pilot on the ill-fated flight, according to statements made by her mother, Camila Corteletti, to American media outlets.
The Final Distress Call
The final radio transmission between the cockpit and the air traffic control tower documented tragic moments experienced by the crew moments before impact. In a panicked voice, Nathalia issued a distress call saying: "Mayday, mayday... declaring an emergency... we are going down," followed by the sound of screams before the connection was lost and the explosion occurred, claiming the lives of everyone on board.
An Early Passion for Aviation
Gadelha, of Brazilian descent and raised in the United States, showed a great passion for aviation from an early age, a dream she shared with her father and pursued to become a commercial airline pilot.
Nathalia earned her private pilot license at the young age of 17, specifically in October 2023, during her senior year at West Boca Raton High School.
