Florida plane crash: Nanny Anita Maria Cetina called sister from doomed Learjet 60
Anita Maria Cetina, 24, was one of the nine people who were killed in a fatal plane crash last week.
The sister of a woman who was killed in a horrific plane crash last week has revealed details of their final call.
On November 1, Adam Robinson, Helen Sharp, and their children, Emma and Charlie; friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr; and nanny Anita Maria Cetina were travelling from Austin, Texas to the Bahamas on a plane piloted by Jeffrey Gregory and co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras.
The Learjet 60 nosedived into the ground near West Palm Beach and erupted into a fireball, killing all those onboard.

She moved from Colombia to the US two years ago and became nanny for Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, in January.
Sister Angie Ramirez Cetina said she received a call from Anita Maria from the doomed Learjet 60.
“We did a video call, she showed me the children, she showed me the plane,” she told the US Sun.
“She was very happy.
“She was truly happy because she had never been to the Bahamas, and even though she was working, she didn’t see it as work.
“She enjoyed it.”
Angie said her sister loved working with the Robinson family.
“She loved the job she had,” she said.
“She loved the children very much.
“She loved the Robinson family dearly.”
After the two sisters said goodbye for the final time, Angie said she saw a video of a small plane plummeting to the ground and exploding into a fireball.
It prompted her to look up the flightpath of her sister’s plane.
“I saw the accident, I saw the flight path, and truthfully, I didn’t want to accept that it might be my sister on the plane,” Angie said.
“But later, my mum called me on Monday morning and confirmed to me that yes, it was the flight Ana Maria was on.”
Angie said the pair had last been together in July, when her sister visited while she gave birth.
“My sister and I shared so many things together,” she said.
“We have so many memories.
“Something that will stay with me forever was that she was there through my whole journey with my son, from the beginning until the day I had him, through my post-partum recovery, she was right there.
“She adored my son. He was practically the apple of her eye.
“She and I were inseparable.”
Earlier this week, the family of the passengers onboard shared a heartfelt statement on social media, paying tribute to their loved ones.
Ms Centina was described as caring for the Robinson children with “tenderness and devotion”.
“She was truly part of the family; she showed us a legacy of unconditional love and devotion,” the post read.
An investigation into what caused the crash continues.
