NTSB recovers crashed Learjet elevator parts and prepares to enter impact crater

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recovered several pitch-control components that fell miles away from the crash site of a LearJet 60 near Palm Beach, Florida, which occurred on November 1st. Investigators have yet to gain access to the impact crater created by the aircraft’s descent. Despite this challenge, NTSB personnel successfully retrieved portions of the jet's elevator approximately six miles from the primary accident location. The recovery operation is ongoing as investigators continue their examination of the wreckage and its surrounding area. Further investigation into the cause of the crash remains underway at this time.
