New Learjet Crash Evidence Raises Important Questions Nov 12, 2026

Description

The NTSB has released new information about the November 1, 2026, Learjet 60 crash in Florida, and investigators have now recovered several critical components of the aircraft.

In this update, Captain Steeeve examines the latest findings, including the recovery of both engines, portions of both wings, the flight deck, and important flight-control surfaces. Investigators also recovered pieces of the left elevator miles from the crash site, confirming that at least part of the aircraft separated before impact.

We're also looking at newly surfaced information about this same aircraft, N722BD, which reportedly encountered severe turbulence during a flight in May 2026, approximately six months before the accident.

Could the earlier encounter have any relevance to the investigation? What can the recovered wreckage tell investigators about the aircraft's final moments? And what questions remain about icing, turbulence, and the possibility of an in-flight breakup?

Captain Steeeve breaks down what we know, what remains uncertain, and what investigators will be looking for next.

Our thoughts remain with the families and loved ones of all nine people who lost their lives in this tragedy.

The NTSB investigation remains ongoing, and no probable cause has been determined.
