Learjet 60 crashes in Florida neighborhood, killing nine after pilot reports severe icing

A Learjet 60 crashed into a residential area in Greenacres, Florida, on Sunday, killing all nine people on board. Audio recordings show the pilot declaring a 'Mayday' emergency after reporting moderate turbulence and icing. The aircraft descended at over 20,000 feet per minute before impact. The co-pilot, 20-year-old Nathalia Filgueiras, was identified, and approximately 600 residents were displaced. The NTSB is leading the investigation into the fatal incident.
