Investigators Recover Voice Recorder From Jet Crash in Florida that Killed 9

Investigators are analyzing the recorder for clues about the jet’s rapid descent and possible in-flight breakup after the crash killed 9 people.

  • On Monday, the National Transportation Safety Board recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Bahamas-bound Learjet that crashed in Greenacres, Florida, on Nov. 1, killing all nine people aboard.
  • The Learjet nose-dived and exploded into a fireball amid heavy rain and thunderstorms, killing all nine aboard including pilot Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Filgueiras, 20.
  • Investigators are evaluating the recorder at the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C., hoping to extract final communications between the pilots and air-traffic controllers before the rapid descent.
  • NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy urged residents to report any additional debris from the crash site near Greenacres, warning against moving or altering wreckage to preserve evidence.
  • Weather conditions, including reports of ice forming on the aircraft, remain a primary focus as the NTSB investigation will likely take 12 to 18 months to complete.
