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

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

She was a 20 year old girl co-piloting. Forget her, a grown man would be panicking at the rate of descent they were on.

Gut wrenching to hear her voice and desperation. God bless!

So the plane was disintegrating before crash.
The left elevator was found 4 miles from the crash site .

‘Very important’ Learjet piece found miles from crash site in Florida

Most of the left elevator was found in three pieces, an NTSB official said. Without it intact, the pilot wouldn’t have been able to pull the Learjet out of its nosedive, he said.

Yes, that appears to be the case.

I believe there is a post here stating if you look at a still just prior to impact, it is clear the horizontal stabilizer was missing.

That also supports a post of mine earlier today regarding aircraft wreckage crashing through a residence. That aircraft underwent structural failure well before the crash. Now to determine the cause.

Given her age the co-pilot had massive mental strength. still assessing the situation and being rational in a nightmare dive like that...

Wow I can't believe they were able to find it.

Wow I can't believe they were able to find it.

Not to sound callous but considering the plane when in nose first, the crater was the size of the fuselage.

I'm surprised just how good of shape it is in from the outside. Hopefully they can extract information from it as well as locate the flight data recorder.
