'Like a missile coming down' - Nine killed in fiery Florida jet crash

It's starting to look like this wasn't her first rodeo flying with the exact same Learjet 60 aircraft (N722BD) into bad weather & encountering 'severe' turbulence - on that occasion, she managed to survive the incident - not so much this time around...

Learjet N722BD in Severe Turbulence arriving Teterboro (May 6, 2026) - VASAviation​

Apart from being a female co-pilot on the radio, I can't see any resemblance in the voice, and don't think this is the same flight crew. Not sure why this is being posted, more conspiracy nonsense?

AI Overview

The air traffic control (ATC) audio resurfacing from a past turbulence incident near Teterboro involving Learjet 60 N722BD captures the exact same aircraft—and likely the same flight crew—that was tragically destroyed in the fatal Palm Beach County crash. [1]

The Teterboro Turbulence Incident (May 2026)

Months before the fatal accident, the same Learjet 60 (N722BD) encountered an intense weather event while arriving at Teterboro Airport. [1]
    • Altitude Deviations: While trying to hold altitude, the aircraft began climbing unexpectedly due to atmospheric conditions. [1]
    • ATC Confrontation: When the controller asked why they were climbing, the crew initially reported "moderate chop." The controller firmly corrected them, stating that if they could not hold their altitude, it was not moderate but rather severe turbulence. [1]
    • Crew Confirmation: The crew ultimately confirmed over the radio: "Affirmative, affirmative sir... we got moderate chop sir," while fighting the controls to descend back to 4,000 feet amid local traffic alerts. [1]
Connection to the Fatal Florida Crash (November 1, 2026)

Aviation communities and investigators have heavily cross-referenced the Teterboro audio following the catastrophic crash of N722BD in Greenacres, Florida. On November 1, 2026, the aircraft was flying 9 people from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when it entered a localized storm cell. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Mirroring their previous experience with severe weather, the pilots encountered severe icing and turbulence that bounced the jet by up to 700 feet. After requesting a climb to escape the conditions, the aircraft suffered a complete loss of control, nosediving into the ground at a vertical speed exceeding 32,000 feet per minute, killing everyone on board. [1, 2, 3]

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB Newsroom) is actively investigating the crash and will review the aircraft's full operational history—including previous atmospheric incidents like the one at Teterboro.

tbf if you watch enough of these near disaster or actual disaster flight recordings there are plenty of pilots that maintain an uncanny calmness all the way to their demise
- aviate
- navigate
- communicate

none of the steps include "panic" as it serves no purpose, nothing against this lass, may she rest in peace
there are however many professional pilots who would not have been screaming, at least not over the radio

Trust me bro aside, sources including video footage would help. She was not the pilot flying and even through the disaster managed to communicate with AT till the last moment.

I think i have now officially heard it all, the person who realised that she was about to die and that there was nothing she could do, should have been quieter in death...or at the very least, they shouldn't have broadcast their terror over the radio. :X3:

Panicking when you are about to die with no hope of recovery seems like something a lot of people would do.

Username checks out. Lets see you not scream in that situation. Clown

Around 20 years ago, I was doing my PPL. My father had bought himself a brand new Cirrus and got his PPL and night rating at the time.

After I went solo on about 10 hours, I quit.

I just felt it was too much responsibility with other people's lives and me flying the plane.

couple of years back a pilot took me up in his Sling 2 from a local airfield where there's no control tower and its all on the pilots to talk to each other to avoid collissions

was fun flying the thing, but just too stressful with some pilots communicating like ass, or not at all, and other times radio messages being hard to decipher then wondering if you're heading towards a f-up

some P.O.S. took off and decided nah he'll do a 180 and head back right across the airfield just after we started climbing, pilot I was with kept communicating asking for a response that never came once he suspected what the other guy's plan was

luckily we were at slightly different heights and horizontally maybe 200m apart, but that "near miss" was enough to put me off ever wanting to pilot myself

yes, and? does not change the fact that many professional pilots do NOT panic

It's an implicit criticism that panicking when you are about to die is somehow something that she shouldn't have done, as if there is anything, anyone could have done to prevent what happened at that stage...

Why even mention it if there isn't an implied criticism that she somehow did the wrong thing? As if there is something in an instruction manual that says how pilots are supposed to die.
 
Panic claims aside, she was still able to give reading updates up to their final moments.

Best examples I know of the difference between calm & panic on the flight deck - and the very different outcomes of both - were these two incidents... the former where Aviate, Navigate & Communicate WERE implemented - and the latter, where chaos & confusion overrode basic flying skills, logic & common sense...

United Airlines Flight 232​

The Crew's Response

Faced with an unprecedented scenario that simulator pilots could not replicate, the cockpit crew mounted a desperate battle for survival using an experimental technique: [1]
  • Asymmetric Thrust: Captain Alfred Haynes and First Officer William Records discovered they could crudely steer and counteract violent oscillations by manually adjusting the throttles of the two remaining wing engines. [1]
  • Crucial Assistance: Dennis Fitch, an off-duty United Airlines DC-10 training instructor who was on board as a passenger, came forward to help. He knelt on the cockpit floor and manually operated the throttles, freeing up the captain and first officer to wrestle with the yoke. [1, 2]
  • Resource Management: The disaster became the global gold standard for Crew Resource Management (CRM), showcasing how effective communication and teamwork under extreme stress can save lives.

Air France Flight 447​

What Happened
  • The Route: The Airbus A330-203 departed Rio de Janeiro–Galeão International Airport bound for Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport. [1]
  • The Disappearance: The aircraft flew through a high-altitude thunderstorm and the Pitot Probes (airspeed sensors) iced over and became blocked. [1, 2]
  • The Crash: The autopilot disconnected, and conflicting pilot inputs led the plane into a high-altitude aerodynamic stall from which they could not recover. It plunged into the ocean within roughly four minutes. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Legal and Safety Aftermath
  • Investigation: France's Bureau of Enquiry and Analysis for Civil Aviation Safety (BEA) concluded that frozen airspeed sensors, confusing flight director alerts, and inadequate pilot training for high-altitude stalls caused the disaster. [1, 2]
  • Criminal Trial: After years of legal proceedings and an initial lower-court acquittal in 2023, a Paris appellate court on May 21, 2026, found both Air France and Airbus guilty of corporate manslaughter, sentencing each company to pay the maximum fine of €225,000 (~$261,000). [1, 2, 3]
  • Industry Changes: Global aviation standards updated pilot manual-handling training procedures for sensor failures, and airlines replaced the faulty pitot tubes.

This is the most retarded thing I have read on all the platforms about this.

Dude, if you check what happened to the plane, the plane was pointing 90" down and then went backwards.
That's not something that ever happens unless it's very controlled in normal situations.

This plane was not designed for this at all.
She knew she was going to die.
She was panicking but still did her job till the end.
