New Video Shows NTSB Investigators Recovering Learjet Wreckage Pieces From Florida Crash Crater
Investigators are removing wreckage to a secure site as debris is found miles from the crater and on nearby roofs, the NTSB said.
- Federal investigators recovered part of an engine from a Learjet crash site in Greenacres, Florida, on Sunday that killed nine people aboard the aircraft.
- The Learjet 60 departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport bound for the Bahamas when it crashed; crews pumped water from the impact crater to access and retrieve wreckage.
- Investigators found three pieces of the aircraft's left elevator about 1.3 to 3.8 miles from the impact site, prompting the NTSB to urge residents not to move discovered debris.
- Local resident Anthony Blackmon reported hearing a deafening explosion and later discovered twisted metal on his roof, which sheriff's deputies subsequently recovered as evidence.
- Military Trail remains closed between Cresthaven Boulevard and 10th Avenue as officials examine evidence to determine why the aircraft experienced an overspeed condition before impact.
