Learjet 60 crash, Greenacres, Florida: 3D reconstruction and the evidence ten days on (crash of Nov 1, 2026; investigation update as of Nov 11).
Ten days after the Florida Learjet crash that killed nine, most of the jet's left elevator has been found 1.3 to 3.8 miles from the crater, its cockpit voice recorder is in the NTSB lab in Washington, and the 911 calls have been released. Allan Filgueiras, father of the 20-year-old co-pilot, has replayed the radio calls looking for a clue. This film lays the ADS-B track over the debris band, listens to the 911 callers and the dispatchers who guessed with them, follows the excavation of the crater day by day, asks what a Learjet 60 can take, and says plainly what is known and not known. No cause has been determined; nothing here is a finding.
