Florida Governor Ron DeSantis Comments on Fatal Learjet Crash Under Investigation
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis commented on a tragic Learjet 60 crash that occurred in South Florida, stating that the plane descended so rapidly it 'looked like a missile going down.' The crash, which happened on a Sunday, resulted in the deaths of all nine people on board, including 20-year-old co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is currently investigating the cause of the accident, with weather conditions and the aircraft's integrity being key areas of focus. Audio recordings from the flight's final minutes reveal Filgueiras calmly reporting turbulence and icing before declaring an emergency as the plane plummeted. Investigators have recovered part of the plane's engine from the crater at the crash site and found pieces of the jet's left elevator miles away, indicating it broke off before impact. The NTSB's mission is to determine the cause and recommend changes to prevent future incidents.
