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

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

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

In this dashcam video it looks like an explosion happened before the plane arced to the ground. It happens just above the nearest streetlight on the right.

Hi.

My guess is a storage compartment was not secured properly and as the jet began the climb from the runway it opened and an oxygen tank hit the tail and took out the horizontal stabilizer.

5.56mm

Another hard hitting piece of information from the pages of “It Is Obvious”.

Video shows the aircraft on fire and a fiery fragment separates from it in that quick few seconds before it hits the ground. I think an engine’s turbine fragmented and just blew up.

It was in a left turn, so possible banked too far and stalled. Lear jets require a high level of proficiency as you can get behind the power curve very quickly. It’s a very unforgiving plane. A few years ago another air ambulance Lear jet crashed in San Diego after cancelling IFR while circling to land. If you want to hear the last words of the pilot google N880Z atc last words. Warning...not for the faint of heart.

The LeartJet 55 is a flying gas tank. One leaking Oxygen tank and the smallest spark.....KABOOM !

Lots of different camera angles of the crash.

Catastrophic engine failure and explosion piercing the fuel tank and cabin causing total loss of control of the aircraft. The plane also had oxygen tanks on board.

Plane sadly turned into a giant lawn dart at that point traveling downward at 160-180 miles per hour.

I am far from an expert on the subject but I have stayed at a Holliday Inn Express in the past and watched almost all of the Air Disasters episodes. My guess is the flaps were not set.

Heard rumors about oxygen (always on hand on a medical plane).

The old timer sitting in the dinner when shrapnel comes through at a very fast rate and takes his baseball cap off is mind blowing. Literally 2-3 inches from a grizzly death.

Oxygen may have been part of the cause of the disaster.
Too soon to know. NTSB is busy.

Saw one report the plane was registered out of Mexico the girl went through 4 months of treatment.

What was on the plane and how many in Mexico can afford such service?.

Not blaming anyone just some things don’t sound right?.

Notice the speeds. For example, 197mph at 625 feet. When and where the crew should have acknowledged the transfer of air traffic control (changing channel).

After that, the aircraft continued to accelerate and climb.

Except for silence from the cockpit, the climb and speed appear to be normal.

The Lear Jet is designed to go fast and at high altitude.

At or very soon after 23:06:52 Zulu (247 mph), the jet either lost power, or somebody reduced power, or something reduced power.

Could be, the left engine was not running great, even before 23:06:52 Zulu, and then it "choked?"
