@channelnewsasia: This is the moment when a Learjet crashed and erupted in a fireball in Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday (Nov 1), killing all 9 people onboard. The jet was travelling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas before it rapidly lost altitude and crashed. The cause behind the crash is still unknown. #usa #usnews
Saw this somewhere else: 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 sad.

Is it possible due to g force, most of them passed out?

I'm convinced the people that are saying it's a missile have never seen a real missile or a plane in their lives

As a human first, and as a flight attendant second, I really wish news outlets would stop showing this with zero warning the second you scroll. Having to see our worst fear and the loss of life over and over is horrific. I can't imagine being their family members online right now
