## Summary

A Learjet 60 crashed near West Palm Beach, Florida, killing all nine people on board. Cockpit and air traffic control audio captures a crew member praying and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, reporting that the aircraft had banked sharply as the crew encountered trouble; investigators are working to establish what caused the crash.

The jet was travelling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas and went down about eight miles from Mar-a-Lago. Controllers had warned of heavy precipitation and moderate turbulence, while some aviation experts have speculated that storms and a high-altitude “coffin corner” may have contributed; these remain unconfirmed theories. The FAA is supporting the National Transportation Safety Board’s investigation, and the other passengers’ identities had not yet been released.
