"Mayday, mayday. We're going down." Last recording before the jet crash in Florida
A Learjet 60 crashed in Greenacres, Florida, while en route to the Bahamas, resulting in a massive fireball and a large crater. The aircraft, carrying nine people, made a sharp right turn and descended rapidly, hitting trees and power lines before crashing into a modular home community. Witnesses described the sound of the crash as resembling a rocket launch. Audio recordings from the cockpit revealed the pilot declaring an emergency due to severe weather and rapid descent before the crash occurred. Authorities have not confirmed if there were any additional casualties beyond those on board.
