Further reports of the flight that crashed in the Atlantic Ocean earlier today.
It is thought that the crash was caused by engine failure as some of the surviving passengers reported seeing smoke when they looked out of their windows. What may have caused this, of course, has yet to be confirmed.
Between the coastguard and the cruise ship, most of the passengers from 218 have been recovered. Names have been released and there are eleven people yet to be recovered.
Co-pilot Greg Baker, 35
Amy Rogers, 26
John Stewart, 68
Jorge Romero, 45
Nichola Tucker, 24
Harry Sachs, 50
Umran Ali, 32
Kelly Simon, 36
Steven O’ Reilly, 52
Geoffery Irons, 61
Former Globalstar Jericho Cross, 27
It has now been over seven hours since the last report.
