The audio communication between ATC and the cockpit is on the net. If it comes across your feed, do NOT listen to it. That link should stay blue.

    Quick warning that the video(s) of the crash are pretty disturbing.

    Holy shit they were going fast... at the very least you know nobody suffered.

    And they didn't take anything or anyone with them. I'd attribute that to the pilots, as I know that's always a goal to minimize what happens if a crash is unavoidable, but I think in this instance they didn't have any control at all at that point, so it was just luck.

    ice buildup, possible stall condition, then control loss - probably couldn't regain lift to pull out of the dive soon enough - no speedbrakes, so if you go into overspeed in a dive, well...

    My understanding from some sources is their tail was gone. The pictures suggest that. Without a tail...

    It looks like it has a tail to me.

    The videos from further away kind of look like a plane, but everyone who has recorded up close has not found a shred of airplane in the crator. That's weird. Desantis said there's a ton of debris, but it's not in the videos. It's also weird Trump called for missile defense systems in Florida 2 days ago.

    No, that's physics. The rest you're just trying to stir things up from a simple tragedy. That's not cool.

    Some of us older people remember when a whole airliner went into the Everglades straight down. Wasn't much to find there either. Kinetic energy released at once is something else.

    What, exactly do you think a missile would be doing there?

    And since you're saying it was a missile, why would there be no debris from a missile, but a plane nearing Mach 1 would produce more debris?

    I mean there's so much unexplained by your nonsensical claims, you can't even see the mountain-sized holes in your blatherings.
