Cockpit recording captures final moments before fatal Florida plane crash

Cockpit audio recorded moments before a private Learjet crashed in Florida on Sunday appeared to capture a pilot reciting the Lord's Prayer, the New York Post reported. The aircraft was traveling to the Bahamas when it crashed in Palm Beach County, killing all nine people on board. [1][5][6]

The audio recording captured a male voice reciting lines from the prayer as copilot Nathalia Gadelha was on board, according to the New York Post. As FTMQ News reported earlier, 20-year-old Gadelha was identified as the co-pilot of the flight, which had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas before it crashed. [1][5][6]

The Lord's Prayer is a central Christian prayer attributed to Jesus that contains petitions focused on divine rule and human needs. The structure of the prayer reflects roots in Second Temple Judaism and shares parallels with ancient Jewish prayers such as the Amidah and the Kaddish. [2][4]

Following the crash, representatives for musician Lenny Kravitz dismissed online rumors that he was on the plane, confirming he was not aboard, as FTMQ News reported earlier. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash. [5][6]
