The Federal Aviation Administration said the Bombardier Challenger 600 jet had five people were aboard when the crash happened around 3:15 p.m. Friday near Naples, just north of where the interstate heads east toward Fort Lauderdale along what is known as Alligator Alley.
The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate, with the NTSB leading the investigation. One NTSB investigator arrived at the crash site Friday afternoon, with several more expected to arrive on Saturday.
Brianna Walker saw the wing of the plane drag the car in front of hers and slam into the wall.
Well they lost both engines. Hopefully that’s what they focus on in the investigation.
The only thing I’m aware of that would take out both engines at the same time is bird strikes … especially if they were already in an approach.
Do jets like this have independent fuel tanks and fuel pumps per engine? I would imagine redundancy is king and this is obvious but I know nothing of aviation.
It’s probably because we TAXED the Rich Owner too much and He could NOT afford to make the plane safe!
