Three words. That's all Cathy Grossu got from her daughter before the plane went down. 'We're in trouble.' Then nothing. Cristina Biffle's final text message has become the haunting focal point of Thursday's plane crash that killed seven people, including NASCAR legend Greg Biffle, his wife and their two children. The Cessna C550 went down at Statesville Regional Airport in North Carolina just 26 minutes after takeoff, killing everyone on board.

The family were heading to Florida for a birthday trip—Greg would've turned 56 next Tuesday. Instead, it ended in flames on a North Carolina runway. 'She texted me from the plane and she said, "We're in trouble." And that was it', Grossu shared to a publication. 'So we're devastated. We're brokenhearted.'
