Overview
- A Learjet 60 flying from Austin to North Eleuthera crashed near Greenacres/Cresthaven on November 1, killing all nine people on board.
- Those confirmed dead include Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, their two young children, the children's caregiver, two passengers and two pilots.
- LiveATC records reviewed by media report the pilot warned of ice accumulating, an outside temperature near −47°C and severe turbulence that bounced the jet before the crash.
- The NTSB has opened a formal investigation and says investigators have found preliminary signs the aircraft may have begun breaking apart before impact while they collect flight data, maintenance records and wreckage.
- The victims' identities have prompted widespread online reaction and tributes from the tech community, and the NTSB's weeks-to-months probe could lead to safety guidance for Learjet 60 operations in cold or turbulent conditions.
