Chilling audio captured the moments before a Learjet crashed into a huge fireball in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday.
A Learjet that departed Austin, Texas, en route to the Bahamas plunged at a high rate of speed and nosedived into a mobile home part nine miles from Mar-a-Lago.
The doomed plane erupted into a giant fireball and left a massive crater in the road.
All nine people aboard the doomed aircraft are dead. The victims have not been identified.

The cause of the crash is unknown; however, severe thunderstorms impacted South Florida in the Palm Beach region on Sunday.
Chilling ATC audio reveals the flight crew was struggling with moderate turbulence and ice before the crash.
“We’re descending 8,000 feet -- mayday, mayday! We’re descending 10,000 feet per minute,” the pilot shouted.
“We are in an overspeed condition, descending 20,000 feet per minute,” the pilot screamed moments earlier.

Nope.
Here is a video of onlookers debating what happened, they are unsure if it was a plane or a bomb.

I’ve listened to the audio; truly horrifying. I have to wonder how many are dead on the ground. It looks like the plane is hitting the car directly in a millisecond, and I can’t imagine anyone in the pickup truck making it either.
I’m sure Captain Steeeve on YouTube will have something to say about it, but I seriously doubt he will play The whole audio.
Iced up, high altitude stall in a jet is considered non-recoverable and most pilots aren’t even trained for it.

My issue with female pilots are they are promoted and given jobs that they are not always qualified for. DEI actions will put women in places that men are not ready for, just because they are women.
A Lear 60 with a full fuel load and nine passengers and a crew of two, is over max gross weight. The weight and balance loading would have been very critical.

There were 9 total, not 11. The aircraft is designed for 2 crew and 8 passengers.
And nothing indicated this was a weight or balance issue.
Was she a psychic?
2 pilots and 7 passengers.
Poor souls.
All of them.
God be with them.
Knowing how many male pilots f... up, I’m hesitant to lay it on women. They were fabulous in WW2 with ferrying every type of plane we had.
