In case someone needs better understanding. Pilot here. Icing and moderate turbulence lead to a phenomenon called Mach tuck. It is common in Learjet 60’s and older Learjets. 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 sad.

It would be crazy to know what caused that because how does it go from requesting to climb and then less then a minute later descending at 10,000ft per minute

Wtf is wrong with everyone saying it's not a plane? there's literally audio recordings of the female pilot's last contact with ATC The learjet dove toward the ground in excess of mach 1.3

I think the conspiracy theorists don’t know what a private jet looks like.

Dropping 27,000 feet in 1 minutes is unbelievable speed! To be on that plane, can’t even imagine that feeling!!

This particular Lear jet aircraft has a very bad safety track record. Why is it still flying. FAA should ground all Learjet 60’s!

If one more person says it’s not a plane I swear to god literally look on flight radar u can watch the flight path

Why is the fact that it was worth $2 million relevant? This is a horrific plane crash, taking 9 ppls lives. Who gives AF how much the plane cost? Who would even think to write that? Humanity is gross.
