“The most likely cause, based on the available tracking data, ATC audio, weather context, and the physics of the final trajectory, is this:
The Learjet 60 penetrated the core of a strong convective cell (tops reported near 47,000 ft while the aircraft was around 35,000 ft). Inside the cell it encountered a rapid updraft-to-downdraft transition that drove the nose down. The aircraft then accelerated past its Mach limits, entered Mach tuck (the aerodynamic nose-down force that becomes strong once a Learjet is overspeed at high altitude), and developed a steep spiral. Descent rates exceeded 30,000 ft/min and the final attitude was near-vertical. Recovery was not possible once that sequence was established.
Ice was reported by the crew and may have added workload or minor performance degradation, but at approximately –47 °C classic structural icing is improbable and is not required to explain the observed behavior. Claims of an isolated negative-G pushover specifically shearing the horizontal stabilizer are aerodynamically possible in severe turbulence but remain secondary and unconfirmed; the dominant, data-supported chain is cell penetration → upset → overspeed/Mach tuck → unrecoverable dive.
The critical decision was the failure to deviate around a cell that was visible on radar and associated with ground stops at FLL. Once inside the core, the margin for recovery disappeared within roughly 30 seconds.”

Ohio Democratic candidate for governor Amy Acton is giving “I love you guys” at last call energy. I’ve seen wedding toasts with more restraint—and those came with an open bar. 😂
Amy Acton should drop out of the race and go to rehab.
Ohio, vote for @VivekGRamaswamy.
Amy Acton @amyactonoh always sounds like she’s white girl wasted!
Amy Acton’s (@amyactonoh) show in Cleveland, Ohio, continued tonight as she slurred her words. I believe she said:
“Full lies, dicks less said, they’re lying or buying their way to the selection. But all that money, it never moved the needle one inch. It didn’t work.”
The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves and held accountable in every race in Ohio on Tuesday.
A Jewish woman, @basedinmalibu, was violently assaulted earlier today by Temulun Togochog, a Mongolian immigrant.
Togochog was promptly taken into custody by @umichdpss.
Togochog is a May 2026 graduate of Mercer County Community College in New Jersey and is now attending @UMich for global ethnic studies.
Dogs don’t give a damn about Standard Time.
You can turn every clock in the house back an hour, but their stomachs are still running on yesterday’s schedule.
Try explaining to a hungry dog that it’s only 4 o’clock when he’s been eating supper at 5 for the last eight months.
As far as they’re concerned, we’re an hour late, dinner service has gone to hell, and they’d like to speak to the manager.
