An amputee and his son with cerebral palsy were among the 11 deaths in the fires raging around Los Angeles. The father was found at his son’s bedside. One victim told a relative that he did not want to evacuate.

Nineteen victims were recovered; 14 were in life jackets, one was still buckled into a seat, and none wore shoes. This evidence suggested that passengers and crew had some warning before the crash, yet it remained unclear why the wreckage was found 90 miles off the planned course.

At least 11 people were killed and thousands of structures were burned as fierce wildfires raged in the Los Angeles area. The dead include four men and one woman who were unable to leave or had stayed behind to defend their homes in Altadena,
