Mother of 20-year-old co-pilot in Florida Learjet crash says she ‘predicted’ her daughter’s death

I knew that her dream was going to be the thing that would take her away from me,” Camila told the NY Post. “I knew that a plane was gonna take her away from me, I always knew it, but I was so proud of her, I know she was living her dream.”

Camila added, “I know if she could pick a way to go, this would be her way to go, but I didn’t want it to be so soon.”
