Both the 23-year-old pilot instructor and her daughter, Reeva, sustained severe burns and are undergoing treatment.
According to the report, Reeva will undergo a painful recovery due to third-degree burns. On Monday, the plane's flight instructor was also in critical condition.
The plane flew over the beaches of the South Shore, as shown by the flight path. The pilot then radioed Republic Airport air traffic controllers about smoke in the cabin, according to the News12 New Jersey website. Later, it was discovered that the plane that crashed had only passed two inspections.
The accident is under investigation by the Federal Aviation Administration. Today, the wreckage will be removed from the crash site for further examination by investigators, who are expected to return there for the third time.
