据此前报道,事发时该地区正遭遇暴雨袭击。飞机当时正以3.5万英尺的高度向东飞行,飞行员报告遇到湍流、结冰和降水,并请求爬升2000英尺。片刻之后,飞机开始急剧俯冲,一分钟内下降约2.7万英尺。飞行员最后宣布进入紧急状态:“我们要坠毁了。”
坠机视频显示,飞机从空中俯冲而下,在一条繁忙公路附近爆炸,燃起巨大火球,地面被撞出一个坑洞。附近居民布莱克蒙回忆,他当时距离坠机地点大约500英尺,“到处都是碎片,到处都在燃烧。”
The Learjet, which was traveling from Texas to the Bahamas, plunged some 27,000 feet in a minute, crashing into the ground "like a missile" on Sunday.
Dramatic footage shared online shows a gaping hole in the street and debris strewn across the road, as fires blazing from the crater billow smoke into the air.
附近居民表示,坠机对当地基础设施造成了相当大的破坏,包括供水管道;道路至少需要30天才能重新开放。
