Learjet May Have Broken Up Before Fatal Florida Crash: NTSB
Recovering the Learjet's major wreckage from a crater in the roadway will be the biggest obstacle in a process expected to take several days, NTSB investigator-in-charge Timothy Monville says in Bloomberg News's report.
The Short combines investigators' briefing with dashcam and bystander footage of the fatal Palm Beach County crash. The aircraft was traveling from Austin to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. All nine people aboard died; Monville also reports that a man in a vehicle leaving the area sustained a leg injury.
NTSB member Tom Chapman describes final radio transmissions reporting an overspeed condition, a rapid descent and a mayday call. He then gives the investigation's preliminary finding: "And as I indicated, we do have some indication that the aircraft was breaking up before impact." That is not yet an explanation of what caused the crash.
Bloomberg's upload reached about 155,000 views within seven hours, far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for Shorts.
One specific question remains unresolved. Asked whether the horizontal stabilizer had come off before the crash, as some social media posts suggested, Chapman said investigators were still seeking to determine that.
