Nine people have died in a crash involving a Learjet 60 N722BD,the aircraft came down in Florida, it had departed from Austin, Texas, and was headed to the Bahamas.

At 17:48 UTC, the aircraft began heading east and briefly climbed to FL354. From that point on the aircraft made a descending right-hand turn and an increasing rate of descent to over -30000 feet per minute.

I saw the footage absolutely terrifying. But the creater doesnt seem to be that big or deep. Plus not alot of wreckage left behind.

Also noticed on FR24 playback its airspeed dropped to about 280 knots before shooting back up again to 400 odd
