Florida Learjet crash

[Robertb]

I listened to the last radio communications between the crew and air traffic control. Wish I hadn't, its absolutely heartbreaking. Reports emerging that the pilot was only 20.

Poor people, I can't imagine what it was like on board.

The dashcam footage doingvthe rounds is mental. Imagine going about your day then a small airliner lands on your head at 500mph

Very sad. Hopefully they can get the flight data and work out what exactly happened, looks like tail horizontal stabiliser was gone which can happen when these planes overspend or very high turbulence apparently.

Grim.

The speed that it hit the ground at was scary. It looked like a missile.

20 seems rather young to be a pilot flying private jets if that's correct.

I’ll be surprised if they find anything, there is footage of locals wandering around the crash site, some even bare foot and there is nothing but a crater.
