Learjet 60 crashes in Florida - Crashes 9 Miles from Mar-a-Lago

[Mobius]

The business jet, flying from Texas to the Bahamas, entered a steep dive with descent rates over 30,000 feet per minute before slamming into a mobile home park near Greenacres on Sunday afternoon. The fiery crash killed all nine people on board, created a large crater, downed power lines, and damaged homes amid wet roads and overcast skies. Air traffic control audio recorded the crew's urgent calls about losing control, as the FAA and NTSB investigate possible weather factors near storms. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called it a horrific tragedy, with recovery efforts ongoing miles from Mar-a-Lago.

*******Edited the offensive bit******......................................
I dont know what happened, but the pilot was panicking too much

The downward speed and orientation indicates the engines were still running

Slow motion.....

From ATC Conversation, seems they were flying in supersaturated ice at -40C, sounds like icing got this plane.

One warning and one warning only:

Don't go there.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

Slow motion.....

Damn.

 

[AZ_HighCountry]

On emotional level yes.
On factual level, pilot errors are a major contributor to accidents and a nervous pilot in an emergency does add to that .

Your comment about women drivers was totally inappropriate and unnecessary.

The Daily Mail has a good article:

Private jet with nine people onboard crashes in Palm Beach

A $2 million jet plummeted from the air, causing a roaring amber blaze and plumes of smoke to billow from the roadside in Greenacres, Palm Beach County.

RIP to all in that plane and on the ground if any.
Extremely horrifying to watch the crash like that it just slammed head-on into the ground.
at that speed i don't know if the black boxes would even survive the impact.

Loss of lift may be, as the engines seem to be working. Judging be the speed it slammed into the ground.
