ONLY MINUTES LATER, IT CAME
CRASHING DOWN IN PEMBROKE PARK
WITH TWO PEOPLE ON BOARD.
CONQUEST AIR SENT US A
STATEMENT ABOUT THE CRASH
SAYING IN PART "OUR CONCERN IS
WITH THE PILOTS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
THE COMPANY FLIES DAILY TRIPS
FROM MIAMI TO THE BAHAMAS.
BUT THEY TELL US THIS PLANE
WAS NOT PART OF THEIR CARGO
OPERATION AND IS NOT USED FOR
ANY COMMERCIAL PURPOSES.
AND THIS ISN’T THE FIRST TIME
WE’VE COVERED A CONQUEST
AIRPLANE GOING DOWN.
IN FACT, IN FEBRUARY OF 2019,
ONE OF THEIR CARGO PLANES WAS
ON ITS WAY FROM THE BAHAMAS
WHEN IT ENDED UP IN THE WATER.
ONE MAN WAS RESCUED AT THE
TIME AND A SEARCH-AND-RESCUE
MISSION WAS CONDUCTED FOR A
SECOND PERSON.
>> BSO WAS TELLING US THEY
WERE WAITING TO SPEAK TO NEXT
OF KIN WITH BOTH OF THESE
FAMILIES, BUT OF COURSE THE
NIECE TELLING US HIS NAME.
