Learjet Crash
A crazy one. The full cockpit audio has already been published. It seems to have just fallen from 25,000 feet and augered straight into the ground. Ice, lightning strike, ? There were storms at the time of the crash. Some wild dashcam vids!

The guy in the video is saying the plane is fully intact - the horizontal stabilizer is missing (the opening photo has been editied)

Their terror must have been beyond imagination. That was like an artillery shell strike.
May they rest in peace and may their families somehow find some solace .

why does the still image clearly show the horizontal stabilizer but the video does not? assuming that is a doctored image?

What would cause the entire assembly to fall off? That would be one helluva structural failure.

If ever divine intervention were present it is in the fact that no one on the ground was injured.

6:48 Shows the white car after the blast. Looks like windows blown out. They must have been injured somewhat.

The horizontal stabilizer departing - what Tim said is a possibility. If the structure was already experiencing stress cracks or fatigue (not found during inspections) then turbulence could be the final straw.
There may have been some initial failure of pitch control and the downward dive and excessive speed could have ripped off the horizontal stabilizer. They far exceeded the design limits of the aircraft.

Earlier in her conversation with ATC she mentioned they had icing under control but then she said she was picking up additional precip. At -40 some degrees Celsius any liquid updrafting precip would build additional ice super fast. It sounds like she got into a rapid vertical building thunder storm based on what some have posted in regard to the weather at that time.

EDIT- Desantis said no one on the ground was injured. I would think the driver would have at least glass lacerations. Almost looked like the passenger door was burnt, but hard to tell. Airbags went off? Maybe door was already that way. Last edited by LEAKYSEALS951; 11-02-2026 at 06:46 AM.. |
