A father and daughter tragically lost their lives Monday in Coral Springs, Florida, when the small plane they were traveling in crashed shortly after takeoff from Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport. Alexander Wurm, 53, and his daughter Serena Wurm, 22, were en route to Jamaica carrying hurricane relief supplies, part of a mission to help communities affected by recent storms.
The National Transportation Safety Board confirmed that an investigation into the cause of the crash is underway. No other casualties were reported, and the aircraft went down in a residential waterway roughly five minutes after departure.
