Pilot here. Icing and moderate turbulence lead to a phenomenon called Mach tuck. It is common in Learjet 60’s and older Learjet’s. Essentially, you exceed the maximum airspeed at altitude and it is unrecoverable to the point that you continue to speed up while not being able to produce lift with your wings. Further description: (your coefficient of lift eventually moves too far behind the wing making it impossible to produce lift, this causes the aircraft to lose altitude like a falling dart, in turn gaining airspeed and crashing. All Pilots are aware of this, some just push too close to the maximum speed threshold, and when you experience clear air turbulence or other factors like icing that would push you too far past the maximum speed threshold without the capability to control the wing normally, this happens. Wrap up: icing changes the shape of the wing critically and adds weight to plane (double whammy, but mainly airflow issue over the wing), Learjets are vulnerable to over speed situations because of the type of wing is small, sleek, and unforgiving in the name of efficiency and performance, mix all of that together with moderate turbulence which can fluctuate your airspeed, this causes the aircraft to enter Mach tuck over speed condition. The result is a lawn dart scenario that you see here. Very rad.

those wings are not the width of a lear60 they are the size of a cruse missile

People don’t seem to understand what a Learjet 60 looks like and they’re expecting like a 737 or something. This looks just like a Learjet.

if I see comments talm bout sum "why aren't there parts of the plane" or "that was a missile" i might tweak out

Is it this hard for people to process that an aircraft will not leave much debris if it’s going that fast into the ground😭✌️

Everything about this is just insane and tragic. I noticed this imprint of the winglet impact.

That looks like a missile to me. And when did a plane ever come in that fast like that? And not leave debris
