Possibly a hobbyist want to get photos of a jet taking off with his/her drone and then . . . things went South.

Is it too soon to wisecrack?

[BenLurkin]

I’m thinking maybe the load shifted not long after he began his climb.

[BenLurkin]

Of course it’s too early. Let’s hear it.

At least one video shows the plane burning as it nosed into the ground. Fire before the crash.

If they are looking for the black box still, likley it is 15 feet under the impact site, the way that bird came down.

At least one video shows the plane burning as it nosed into the ground. Fire before the crash.

POST THE VIDEO PLEASE

[riverrunner]

Take offs and landings are when the most crashes occur.

I saw an interview of a resident who had a body land on her roof. Yeesh.

Tragedy plus time equals comedy.

[virgil]

I think it hit something (bird, drone) or mechanical/structural failure.

[Rural_Michigan]

Which would mean the plane broke up before hitting the ground. Weird.

[sphinx]

That suggests that the plane broke apart or exploded before hitting the ground. That’s a bit unususl.

[TalBlack]

So far the guess is a wing stall. One hell of a wing stall.

[Larry Lucido]

I doubt you could ever get me inside of a private jet for a trip. I did see the inside of a Hawker once and I know that I would be not only white knuckled the whole time but claustrophobic as well. I’d be like “No thanks I’ll drive.”

[Blood of Tyrants]

From the video I watched, the jet went down on a parabolic arc indicating a major malfunction or damage that caused complete loss of control.

[Paul R.]

I can’t recall if I’ve ever seen a plane so completely obliterated. But, if the pilots had anything to do at all with the plane hitting pavement instead of one of the large apt. buildings, and assuming they didn’t miss something critical in the pre-flight checkout of the plane, I’m giving them a big salute.

[Blood of Tyrants]

No load. Just three people and a donor organ, from what I gather.

Putting on my tinfoil hat

A cartel hit?
