20-Year-Old Nathalia Filgueiras Was a Pilot on Learjet That Crashed in Florida
Nine people died, including two young children and a 20-year-old co-pilot, Nathalia Filgueiras, who received her pilot’s license three years ago, when she was still a teenager.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets frame the story around the deadly Florida crash itself, with several including video or live-briefing angles and repeated emphasis that all nine people aboard were killed. The Guardian US and New York Times are the main outlets foregrounding the 20-year-old co-pilot’s identification, while Fox News and Newsweek also highlight her specifically; Newsweek alone adds a separate piece about the jet being tied to a famous address, and Newsweek is alone again in raising a super El Niño angle.
