Chilling Florida Learjet crash theory emerges as major investigation launched

Investigators are to probe whether a private jet that crashed in Florida, killing all nine people on board, may have begun breaking apart mid-air before nose-diving and bursting into flames. The US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said investigators uncovered evidence suggesting the private Learjet began breaking apart before hitting the ground. The jet crashed into the ground in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday at 12.50 pm. Flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas, it plummeted 25,000ft in just over a minute before crashing into a street just nine miles from President Trump's Mar-a-largo estate.
