The flight, carrying 60 passengers from Wichita, Kansas, went down on Thursday, prompting an immediate halt to all takeoffs and landings. Emergency teams rescued four people from the water, but U.S. Senator Ted Cruz confirmed fatalities. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and National Transportation Safety Board have launched investigations. American Airlines, which owns PSA Airlines, acknowledged the incident.
