What the coverage shows

Both outlets lead with the crash and the nine people aboard, and both frame it as a business or private jet story in Palm Beach County. The Independent’s headline stresses that all nine aboard were killed and its extract is the only one to mention video of the aircraft nose-diving near homes. ABC News is alone in adding the flight details, naming the Learjet 60 and saying it had taken off from Austin before going down.
