Because, y’know, the victims’ presumed "ultrarich" socioeconomic status was sooooo important.

Incredibly, Brown’s report was not an isolated incident, as the AP played the class card at least two additional times. The first came almost three hours later, as seen in this item carried at TMC.net, as more information about the nature of the crash came out:

Finally, in a much longer dispatch three hours later, AP reporters Matt Gouras and Joan Lowy stuck with the theme in their third paragraph:

Here is a photo of the Jacobsens (found at this link), one of the families who perished:

May God be with them and all who died, and may He provide strength to their surviving relatives and friends.
