Sad news this morning out of Mexico. Mexican-American singer Jenni Rivera was on a plane that crashed in northern Mexico on Sunday. No survivors have been found and all of those aboard are presumed dead. Rivera was known for Banda music (traditional Mexican music) and was a TV personality in Mexico. Just last week, she had signed on to star in an ABC sitcom. Rivera is survived by five children.
