Relentless

Viewer discretion advised. This is a 3 minute real time replay of the Florida Learjet 60 crash, with the uncut ATC audio. It pulls together public ADS-B, weather radar, satellite, dashcam and drone video onto one timeline. Here's what we know as of Nov 2 based on OSINT and today's NTSB briefing: - Went from ~35,000 ft to impact in ~78 seconds - Flew into a string of thunderstorms - Crew reported ice and turbulence; asked to climb then issued a mayday - All nine aboard are deceased, with one person injured on the ground - Plane debris spread across half a mile and still being recovered - NTSB says there is some evidence the jet broke up before impact - Weather at altitude is a key focus of the investigation; but the official cause is still TBD I make a lot of 4D reconstructions and this is the most visceral and gut wrenching thing I’ve heard in a long time. My heart goes out to the families of those on board. Important to note that the details so far point to severe weather at altitude rather than a missile or air defense system.
