Florida Plane Crash: Nine Feared Dead as Learjet 60 Crashes in Residential Area

A serious plane crash occurred in Florida, USA. A Learjet 60 aircraft crashed in a residential area of ​​Greenacres on Sunday. 09 people were killed in the accident. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the Learjet 60 aircraft took off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was heading to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. It is initially believed that the accident was caused by ice accumulation on the aircraft at an altitude of 35,000 feet and air turbulence. Although the pilots had previously noticed the accumulation of ice, they told controllers that the situation was under control. However, the situation changed rapidly after the plane entered an area with rainfall.

Due to poor weather, the pilots requested permission to climb from 35,000 feet to another 2000 feet. The plane began to descend rapidly after reaching an altitude of about 41,000 feet. The plane, which first descended at a speed of 10,000 feet per minute, then 20,000 feet per minute, and finally 30,000 feet, hit the ground. The plane became a ball of fire in the accident. There was nothing but a large crater in the area where it crashed.

The conversations the pilots had with the air traffic controller (ATC) as the plane was crashing have now gone viral. “We can’t lose any more time,” the female crew member on the plane was heard shouting in the ATC audio. Earlier, the pilot had broadcast an emergency message saying, “We are descending at a speed of 8,000 feet. Mayday, mayday, we are descending at a speed of 10,000 feet per minute.”

As the situation worsened, “We are in an overspeed situation. We are descending at a speed of 20,000 feet per minute. The pilot was recorded saying, “We are going to hit the ground.” The ATC continued to communicate until the end to control the aircraft and assist them. “November Two Bravo Delta.. I am with you..
