NTSB investigators and local officials continue recovery efforts for the wreckage of the Learjet 60 that crashed on Nov. 1 near Greenacres, Florida.

Excavation work at the crash site began late yesterday and continues today, which included finding a portion of one engine. Debris has been found away from the impact location and also on the roofs of homes and buildings near the crash site.

All recovered wreckage will be sent to a secure location for further examination.

If you have found or collected any debris from the Learjet 60 crash, please do not keep it or attempt to move, alter or dispose of it. Even small pieces of the wreckage may contain important evidence that could help investigators determine what happened. We ask that you contact the NTSB at [email protected] to arrange its recovery. Please include a photo of the debris, if possible, in your email. Recovering all available wreckage is critical to the investigation and helping to determine the cause of the crash.
