Ganz gruselig: Schon wieder ein Flugzeugabsturz in den USA
Verdammt nochmal, was ist denn dort los?
Die Zahl der Hubschrauber- und Flugzeugabstürze und absturznaher Zwischenfälle und Unfälle in den USA ist ja bisher schon beängstigend, jetzt gibt es schon wieder einen Absturz, ein Learjet ist mit anscheinend vollem Tempo in den Boden gedonnert:
The private jet that went down just miles from Mar-a-Lago had 9 people on board, according to the FAA.
The plane crashed in a residential area near Cresthaven, Florida.
The aircraft had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was on its way to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it crashed.
According to the New York Post, the plane took a "sharp right turn" before nosediving into the ground from about 8,000 feet.
The plane is a $2 million Learjet 60, according to the Post.
Witnesses on the ground say the crash sounded like a missile.

SLOW MOTION: 1080p HD slow motion (no AI video) of the impact of a Learjet 60 that crashed in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday, November 1, 2026 at about 12:50 p.m. All nine souls aboard were killed.
I got hold of the public dash cam video and, using professional video software (FFmpeg), upscaled it from its original 720p to 1080p with Lanczos resampling, a standard mathematical scaler. No AI and no made-up frames. Every frame you see came from the camera.
What I did:
– Found the very first frame where the jet’s nose comes into view (frame 52 of 417)
– From there to the impact flash, each frame is held for half a second (1/15 speed) so you can see every one
– The fireball plays at half speed, then real time until the driver reacts
– Then a replay of just the plunge and impact at 1/21 speed, 0.7 seconds per frameI skipped motion interpolation on purpose. The jet was moving so fast it covered a huge distance between frames, and the interpolation software was inventing ghosted, doubled airplanes that never existed. I’d rather show you only what the camera actually caught.
The aircraft was a 22-year-old twin-engine Learjet 60, a mid-size business jet, tail number N722BD. It left Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. According to the FAA, it dropped from 35,250 feet to 8,750 feet in a little over a minute, about 350 feet per second. On air traffic control audio, a woman on board can be heard calling mayday and reporting they were descending at 10,000, then 20,000 feet per minute.
It came down beside Military Trail between Cresthaven Blvd and 10th Ave North. There were no early reports of anyone on the ground being hurt. It’s still unclear whether the storm played a role. The FAA and NTSB are investigating.
A note on the timestamp: the dash cam reads 13:51, but the crash happened at 12:50 p.m. Daylight saving time ended that morning, and the camera’s clock almost certainly never fell back.

Zumindest hat das dann nicht mehr weh getan. Außer einem Krater in der Straße ist von ihnen nichts übrig geblieben.
Als Ursache wird derzeit icing und ein nicht zu kontrollierender overspeed dive diskutiert. Hinweise auf einen Anschlag gibt es bisher nicht, auch die US-Luftwaffe sagt, dass sie nichts von einem Abschuss festgestellt habe. Soweit man das überhaupt noch sehen kann, scheint das Flugzeug strukturell noch intakt gewesen zu sein – auch wenn ich mir zuerst nicht völlig sicher war, ob es die linke Tragfläche noch gibt (aber ohne die, wäre das Flugzeug nicht mehr so gerade geflogen) – im letzten Frame, der das volle Flugzeug vor dem Einschlag vor dunklerem Hintergrund zeigt, sieht man aber, dass da noch alle Tragflächen dran sind:
🚨Update: There is a possibility that air defense batteries shot down this jet near Mar-A-Lago! It crashed just a few miles from the President’s home.
Learjet N722BD crash near Mar-a-Lago! About 5.5–6 miles (straight-line / as the crow flies), or roughly 8–9+ miles by road.
The Learjet 60 (N722BD) crashed on November 1, 2026, around 12:50 p.m. local time near South Military Trail (between Cresthaven Boulevard and 10th Avenue North / around Marilyn Drive), in the Greenacres area of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Secret Service requested air defenses at the Mar-A-Lago mansion due to constant threats against President Trump!

Die reden zwar von „possibility that air defense batteries shot down this jet near Mar-A-Lago“, aber dazu passt der Funkspruch nicht. Die Pilotin hat ja während des Absturzes noch in Panik gefunkt, die hätte das gesagt, wenn sie beschossen worden wären.
Nicht für schwache Nerven: Mayday, Mayday ….
Der Funkverkehr verrät allerdings, und das anzuhören ist nichts für Empfindsame, wie die Pilotin in blanker Panik und Lebensangst noch Mayday funkt und sagt, dass sie steil und rapide abstürzen:
