"Looked like a missile." A Learjet 60 crashed near a residential neighbourhood in Florida, killing nine people. Air traffic control audio has captured the pilot's final communications before the aircraft went down. The business jet was flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when the incident occurred. At an altitude of 35,000 feet, the pilot reported ice accumulating on the aircraft, along with turbulence and precipitation. Within minutes of the communication, the aircraft crashed near a residential neighbourhood. Officials reported no casualties on the ground. The recording captured the exchanges between the pilot and air traffic controllers in the moments before the crash. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the incident a "horrific tragedy". The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
