The Learjet was travelling from Austin, Texas, towards North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. In The Mirror's report, a map of that intended journey sits alongside radio calls documenting an emergency over Florida.
The crew first reports moderate turbulence and icing. Later, a female crew member declares a Mayday, describing an overspeed condition and a rapid descent. An air traffic controller stays in contact as she warns that the aircraft is about to hit the ground.
The report carries a distressing-content warning and includes dashcam footage of the impact in Greenacres, Palm Beach County. Roadside recordings show debris, downed power lines and a crater in the road, followed by emergency crews securing the area.
The upload reached about 128,000 views in its first 13 hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for regular videos.
At the scene, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis describes debris spread across Military Trail. He says that, at the time of his briefing, there were no reports of anyone on the ground being killed or injured.
Florida’s governor since 2019 and a member of the Republican Party. He previously served in the US House of Representatives.
