Key Part of Jet in Deadly Florida Crash Found Far From Impact Site
The mechanism that controls the vertical angle of the plane was found in three pieces, including one nearly four miles away. All nine people aboard were killed.
What the coverage shows
All four outlets focus on the NTSB’s finding that key jet parts were recovered well away from the Florida crash site, with Reuters framing the coverage as an update briefing and the others using that distance to underscore a breakup before impact. The BBC and New York Times are closest in specifying the parts were found miles from the site, while Fox News is alone in adding that the left elevator was found and in highlighting “no evidence” of a Mar-a-Lago connection.
