Dashcam footage of Florida plane crash

Videos are popping up all over with the audio and absolutely zero warning that they are about to play something you don't want to listen to.

I'm fortunate that my audio has been off whenever I've encountered them.

Yeah that's pretty much what happened to me. By the time I was fully aware of what I was listening to, I was hearing tings I wish I hadn't. It didn't take long for that to go from a normal flight to...that. Fuck.

So much this. It was so quick.
 
Social media, mainly Twitter/X is such garbage when events like this happen. Altered AI video coming out, many claiming it was a missile either from Iran or even within borders, not acknowledging 9 people would be missing and unaccounted for. Some of these comments cannot be real people, they have to be bots or something just for engagement, only sense I can make of it.
 
Still a lot to lean here. They fly this model daily under same conditions so what went wrong this time.

As soon as I learned one of the pilots was a woman I decided to not read any comments whatsoever.

Is it because it's harder for you to read because you're a....Oh never mind. i was trying to be funny, but well, sorry.

I guess I must be a misogynist. When I started listening to the voice recording I fully expected the voice to be a male pilot. As soon as I heard the fear in her voice, I couldn't turn it off fast enough. Even tho I only heard a few seconds, I tossed and turned all night thinking about it. Just tragic. :rose

Captain was male. Copilot was the female. IMO, she did well handling the comms in the emergency. It was a testament to her "fly the airplane" attitude in her communications in the last minute; she'd kept ending the transmission with the tale number per protocol knowing the fate of the aircraft and pilots. Professional right to the end. Anyone who says less is an NPC.

They almost always are in aircraft, it seems. I think this crew and passengers knew the trouble they were in when they lost all control of the aircraft, different from the Biffle crash. The 32K feet/ minute is a phenomenal rate of speed. Not Mach tuck initially from what I've discussed with text group of professional pilot friends...more like icing and loss of tail which can be seen in one of the last photos as the airplane impacts ground. It had to be terrifying and hopeless. Very sad.

Tech entrepreneur, wife, kids and friends among victims in Florida plane crash

The Bahamas-bound plane crashed in South Florida on Sunday, killing all nine passengers onboard
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk


Adam Robinson, 44, the founder and chief executive of the software companies Retention.com and RB2B, died when the $2 million Learjet 60 nosedived en route from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas, sources close to the family told TMZ. The aircraft left Austin-Bergstrom International Airport before dropping sharply in Florida, leaving a smoking crater on the side of a road after witnesses captured footage of the plane erupting into a massive fireball.

Also killed were his wife, Helen Sharp, a ceramics artist, and the couple’s two young children, as well as their nanny, Anita Maria Apellido Cetina, and two family friends, Charmi Fehr and Rachael Reed.

“Adam and Helen were devoted parents, and Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, were the light of their lives,” the Robinson, Fehr and Cetina families wrote in a joint statement posted to Facebook by relative Anthony Robinson. “Helen and Adam were the love affair that will last forever. Their warmth, generosity and gift for making people feel welcome touched so many lives.

Often investors will reassemble remaining parts to get an idea of what went wrong. With this crash there’s nothing left that looks like it came from a plane. It’s totally obliterated.

KE=1/2 MV²

There was looooooot of V in that crash. :(

Just out of curiosity, any idea what the speed of the plane was when it hit the ground?

There’s got to be a smart person on here who can look at the beginning altitude, rate of descent together with time and come up with a close approximation.

It’s gotta be huge.

Copilot Search Branding

The Learjet 60 involved in the 2026 Florida crash reached an estimated crash‑descent groundspeed of about 506 knots (≈582 mph) during its final moments.​

Detailed Explanation​

Multiple flight‑tracking and ATC‑derived reports provide insight into the aircraft’s speed during the fatal descent:
  • Flight‑tracking data recorded a peak groundspeed of approximately 506 knots as the aircraft entered an uncontrolled, high‑rate descent. poptvculture.compoptvculture.com
  • Additional data show the jet accelerating from 437 knots to about 505 knots within seconds as it plunged from 35,250 ft to below 30,000 ft. airdatanews.comairdatanews.com
  • The descent rate exceeded 20,000–30,000 feet per minute, far beyond structural limits, contributing to the catastrophic impact. latintimes.comlatintimes.com
These figures describe the speed during the crash sequence, not the aircraft’s normal operating limits. The Learjet 60’s typical maximum cruise speed is around 466 knots, with a maximum operating Mach of 0.81. poptvculture.compoptvculture.com
The crash‑descent speeds reported reflect the uncontrolled, overspeed condition documented in ATC audio and flight‑tracking data.
 
It looked like Mach 1 judging by that impact video although that probably isn’t possible without a lot of propulsion
