Drone Footage Of Learjet Crash Site Shows Crater
Nearby homes were spared. Inside Edition's drone footage shows a crater torn into a Palm Beach, Florida, roadway where a Learjet 60 crashed earlier this week, killing nine people.
From above, the footage places the impact site within the neighborhood: houses stand only yards away, while temporary investigation tents, command vehicles and personnel occupy blocked lanes. The report also displays a headline about suspected aircraft debris piercing a woman's roof nearly four miles away, showing that the damage extended beyond the crater.
The Short drew about 270,000 views in its first 13 hours, an unusually fast start for Inside Edition's short-form reports. Viewers raise questions about the aircraft's recorders and whether a memorial might eventually mark the site. Those questions are separate from what investigators have established.
The National Transportation Safety Board is searching for the cockpit voice recorder, the report says. Answers about the cause will take longer: the agency says its final report may take more than a year to complete.
