🇺🇸🚨NOVO RELATÓRIO: O co-piloto do Learjet que caiu no solo na Flórida foi identificado como Nathalia Filgueiras, de 20 anos, que enviou uma mensagem de texto ao namorado apenas 10 minutos antes do acidente.
A mãe de Filgueiras disse que ela "sempre soube" que um avião a "levaria para longe de mim".
O piloto estava voando para as Bahamas quando o avião despencou 20.000 pés por minuto contra o solo.
"Eu queria que ela vivesse o sonho dela, mas eu sabia que o sonho dela seria a coisa que a levaria para longe de mim", disse sua mãe ao New York Post.
"Eu sabia que um avião ia levá-la para longe de mim. Eu sempre soube disso, mas eu estava tão orgulhosa dela. Eu sei que ela estava vivendo o sonho dela."
Apenas 10 minutos antes do acidente, Filgueiras supostamente enviou uma mensagem de texto ao namorado: "Estou com turbulência, estou com gelo."
A a jovem de 20 anos obteve sua licença de piloto no ensino médio. Seu padrasto diz que ela tinha 1.300 horas de experiência.
Em uma postagem nas redes sociais, Filgueiras se gabou de quão jovem ela era como pilota ao lado do namorado dela.
"Com que frequência você vê 2 pilotos com menos de 21 anos com licença comercial, multimotor, instrumental, CFI/CFI-I", disse ela.
8 outras pessoas estavam a bordo do jato quando ele caiu. Elas ainda não foram identificadas.
🚨 CONFIRMED BY FAMILY: 20-YEAR-OLD CO-PILOT IDENTIFIED IN DEADLY FLORIDA LEARJET CRASH
Nathalia Gadelha, just 20 years old, has been identified by her mother and stepfather as the co-pilot aboard the Learjet 60 that crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, on November 1, killing all nine people on board.
Nathalia could fly an airplane before she could legally drive a car.
In October 2023, she was featured in a local news interview as a 17-year-old senior at West Boca Raton High School. She had earned her private pilot’s license the previous month and had already accumulated 88 hours of flight time.
Her passion for aviation began years earlier. Her father started flying recreationally in 2018 and helped introduce her to aviation. Nathalia began ground school in 2020, while still a teenager.
Her public-school aviation program helped fund her flight training.
American Flyers, the flight school she attended, publicly celebrated her accomplishments on its own social media account before this tragedy.
She continued advancing her aviation qualifications, reportedly earning commercial, multi-engine, instrument, and flight-instructor credentials. She also shared that her boyfriend was pursuing aviation, and that they had achieved an extraordinary amount before turning 21.
She dreamed of flying commercially.
The aircraft, identified as Learjet 60 registration N722BD, was traveling from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas.
Flight-tracking reports indicate that the aircraft had arrived in Austin from Little Rock, Arkansas, the day before the crash.
During the final flight, the crew reported icing, turbulence, and precipitation before requesting a higher altitude.
Flight-tracking data reportedly showed the aircraft losing approximately 26,500 feet of altitude in roughly two minutes, with an extraordinary descent rate recorded during its final moments.
The NTSB is investigating.
Pray for these families.
“We are banking 60 degrees.”
I built this Learjet 60 N722BD crash visualization using ADS-B flight tracks, altitude and ground-speed records, final ATC radio calls, aerial imagery and crash-site photos.
Radio-timed cockpit and exterior views put the descent into perspective, followed by actual dashcam impact footage. Estimated portions are clearly marked.

The Learjet 60 that crashed in Palm Beach County today went from 35,000 ft to the ground in 76 seconds.
I rebuilt the last 3 minutes in 4D from ADS-B, ATC audio, a NEXRAD analysis and dashcam video, then ran the engineering. Here's what the data says, and what it doesn't. 🧵
This is way too close for comfort.
The jet heading from Texas to the Bahamas, nose dives just a few miles from Mar-a-Lago.
Air defense systems were being setup in the area in just the last week.
Coincidence?
Yes, possible. Data shows the Learjet descended at 20,000+ fpm (over 200 mph vertical) with groundspeed near 500 knots, hitting nearly vertically at hundreds of mph. That energy pulverizes the airframe into fragments on impact, forming a crater. Fuel then ignites in a fireball that burns much of what's left. Officials confirm a debris field; intact large pieces are uncommon in high-speed ground impacts like this.
It is strange that there is zero visible debris from the plane. Just a large crater in the ground surrounded by fire. Literally nothing. No fuselage, no engines, not a single piece of metal. It is as if everything vaporized. @grok is this even possible? How fast was that plane going right before hitting the ground?
