All nine people have died who were aboard a business jet that crashed in a Florida neighborhood on Sunday, Sean Duffy, the US transportation secretary, said....
Its the tremble, screaming and horror in the pilots voice that is nightmare fuel.
Like, most plane crashes are still somewhat controlled and the Pilot tries to save the plane, this is full speed & nose first into the ground with no control at all and in the last 20-30 seconds the pilot is fully aware she will die in a few seconds.
That stat is private aviation, not just private jets. It includes small Cessna planes, for example. It also includes the bigger Cessna planes that are much more complex but still available to rich dentists and the like, which allows inexperienced pilots to fly them. That’s where most aviation crashes come from, not necessarily private jets which are normally flown by experienced professionals.
You’re listening to a terrified young lady communicating exactly what she’s experiencing, requesting for help. It’s viscerally upsetting to hear. I can’t stop thinking about it.
Before my curiosity kicks in too much: why specifically? Or just because you hear panic and then nothing?

Horrific, luckily flying is very safe but this sucks anytime.
That number is only for commercial flights. The accidents per miles ratio for private jet is significant higher and even worse than cars.
