00:09crashed in Palm Beach County Sunday afternoon. And investigators are now trying to determine
00:14what went wrong.
00:15The moment the Bombardier Learjet 60 crashed was captured on dash cam video. You can see
00:21it plummeting nose first toward the ground before exploding into a massive fireball,
00:26sending thick black smoke into the air. The impact left a large crater in the road just
00:31feet from a nearby neighborhood. All nine people on board were killed. The jet was headed from Austin,
00:37Texas to the Bahamas when it crashed just before 1 p.m. Sunday. The identities of those on board have
00:43not yet been released. Air traffic control recordings reveal the pilot reported icing
00:48and moderate turbulence, then requested to climb to 37,000 feet. Moments later, the plane was in a
00:55rapid descent. We want to warn you the pilot's final distress calls are difficult to hear.
