It's pretty on par with other airline crash audio. Yeah, super tragic and sad, mostly that things went from "hey, ATC, we're good, but maybe not looking 100% right now..." To falling out of the sky within 30 seconds and dropping so hard they sounded like they might have pulled some Gs trying to bank out of the descent at one point. You can do everything right, and still get messed up. Icing is a real danger, and acts fast.

Any idea who was on board? Sucks we lost a pilot and maybe some other innocents, but seeing a dead 1% would cheer me up a little

No idea, other than the co-pilot that was on the comms was one of those brilliant kids that got their license in high school. She was only 20 and had 1300 flight hours.

If they were really rich they probably wouldn't be packed in a small Lear like sardines. They definitely had money to charter a jet, though.

According to the Miami Herald, the ship's tail number was N722BD. FAA registration database shows a fractional ownership registration to a "LR60271 LLC" out of Wilmington Delaware.
