Final moments recorded as Florida Learjet crash claims all nine lives

Cockpit audio recovered from a Learjet that crashed in Florida on Sunday appears to have captured a pilot reciting the Lord’s Prayer in the moments before impact, resulting in the deaths of all nine people on board.

The audio recording includes a male voice seemingly uttering, “Who art in heaven, hallowed be the name,” as co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha, age 20, screams about an impending crash.

Shortly before the jet plummeted to the ground, Gadelha also reportedly shouted, “Look out the window, Jeff!”

The aircraft crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, impacting a mobile home park, knocking down power lines, and creating a significant crater. Authorities have not yet released the names of all those who perished.

Gadelha’s family confirmed to The Post that she was the co-pilot heard in the audio.

Details regarding the cause of the crash are still under investigation, and a press conference is scheduled for later Monday to provide further information.
