Witnesses in a Florida neighborhood said they felt like a bomb had gone off. Newly released 911 audio captures the confusion after a Learjet 60 crashed near a busy Palm Beach County road on Nov. 1, killing all nine people on board, according to Fox News. The deceased were identified as pilots Jeffrey Gregory, 55, and Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20; Adam Robinson, CEO of Austin Tech, 45; his wife Helen Sharp, 40; their two children aged 4 and 2; nanny Anita Maria Cetina, 24; and couple Rachael Reed and Rowan “Charmi” Fehr Toews, both 38 years old.
One caller told dispatchers their house shook, the power was briefly out and they saw “black” smoke and sparks, comparing it to a “bomb explosion.” “I think a plane or a rocket, something fell from the sky,” the woman reported. Few realized a plane had crashed, with other callers describing a possible lightning strike, transformer failure or car crash, according to the Sentinel of the Sun. Another said: “I think a bomb just landed. » The plane took off from Austin, bound for the Bahamas, and crashed around 12:51 p.m. amid heavy rain and storms. The National Transportation Safety Board, which recovered the cockpit voice recorder, says weather is a key part of its ongoing investigation.
