Nine killed as small jet crashes on Florida street

I'm no expert but the early "reports" are saying ice and turbulence. The video and ATC recording is haunting.

It's amazing that it seems like only the people on board lost their lives. The crash looked devastating, and into a fairly high population (residential, on a holiday weekend) area. It also seems very disrespectful to me how the ATC audio has been published. I haven't listened because of how many people I've seen saying they found it haunting or regret listening. Could you imagine that circulating if the pilot was your family? If that was how you found out? I get that all the news outlets want to be the one to report and capture attention, but these are real people. My heart goes out to the families.

The plane came down like a missile, nothing left but a crater. Some speculation has been icing on the plane, since it looks like it entered a small storm cell. It originally flew around a larger storm going on, but just around the time it started losing altitude, it had gone through a small cell. Then when the plane goes back into colder area, rapid ice formation happens due to supercooling.

Flying is such an interesting thing to me. I'm still frightened every time I get in a plane Unequivocally the safest way to travel, statistically, but when things go this wrong it is more or less impossible for anyone on board to survive. I'm just thankful it didn't hit a building or anything I couldn't bring myself to listen to the audio
