Plane Crash

Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras started out calmly reporting that some ice was building up on the plane as they flew into a thunderstorm and turbulence tossed the Learjet up and down by 700 feet.

Investigators are beginning the lengthy process of determining why a business jet plummeted from the sky in Florida.

Investigators say they found a piece of the Learjet that slammed into the ground in Florida miles from the crash site. Nine people on board were killed when the jet crashed into a residential area of Greenacres, near West Palm Beach, on Sunday afternoon.

There is no evidence this South Florida plane crash footage was generated with artificial intelligence.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Duffy says all nine people died aboard a business jet that crashed into a Florida neighborhood. The aircraft departed from Austin, Texas, and was headed to the Bahamas.

The National Transportation Safety Board released a preliminary report Thursday. The controller had given a wind advisory to another flight just minutes earlier but did not inform the Amazon pilots.

The cargo plane crash in Miami is raising concerns about the safety culture at 21 Air, one of the carriers that fly for Amazon. The company has since paused its operations with 21 Air.

An Amazon Prime cargo plane overran the runway, crashed and rammed into vehicles, where it then caught on fire. All those who died were passengers on the ground.

Officials identified the pilot as Dr. David Siambanes, 59, and the passenger as Dawn Stone, 53. Simbanes was director of the scoliosis center at St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, while Stone was a nurse practitioner for AdventHealth.

Christian ministry organization Ignite the Fire identified the two victims of the Monday morning crash as the group's founder, Alexander Wurm, 53, and his daughter Serena Wurm, 22.

To pilots, especially ones in mortal danger, air traffic controllers are voices at the end of a lifeline, saviors of the skies. On the ground, they are average people, exposed to the threat of emotional trauma and juggling high-risk problems in one of the most stressful jobs in America.

The preliminary report from the National Transportation Safety Board says the pilot was destined for Clearwater Air Park but couldn't see the airport during the nighttime flight. He crashed into a home about four miles away.
