Update: pilots, survivors identified

Local Fox station

quote:

CCSO says 50-year-old Edward Daniel Murphy of Oakland Park, Florida was the pilot and Ian Hofmann, 65, of Pompano Beach, Florida, was the co-pilot. They reported a dual engine failure moments before crashing on the highway.

Three people survived: crew member Sydney Ann Bosmans, 27, of Jupiter, Florida along with the two passengers, 35-year-old Aaron Baker and 23-year-old Audra Green, both of Columbus, Ohio. They were treated for their injuries at a local hospital. Ian's family provided Fox 4 with a statement about their loved one's passing. "His last moments, calmly speaking with ATC as he tried to save the passengers and crew in the face of a desperate emergency of losing both engines at low altitude, is how we will always remember him," the family told Fox 4 in a statement.

Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s it seemed like their was a domestic airliner crash every other year.


Not to mention high-jackings. There were 80+ worldwide in 1969 alone. There have been less than a hundred this century.
