[0:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence) At 35,000 feet over Florida, the ride got rough.

[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=5) Say outside air temperature. Negative 47 degrees Celsius.

[0:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=9) We're managing the ice, but it is moderate turbulence.

[0:11](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=11) At minus 47, water is already frozen and ice crystals mostly bounce off a plane.

[0:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=17) Ice that builds up points to a powerful storm, lifting liquid water from far below, and storms were building over South Florida.

[0:26](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=26) The crew asked to climb above it. And now we're picking up precipitation.

[0:31](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=31) We need to climb, um, 370. Climb and maintain flight level 370.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=36) Less than 30 seconds later... November 2 Bravo Delta, we're descending 8,000. Mayday. Mayday.

[0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=41) We're descending 10,000 feet per minute.

[0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=43) Something had gone badly wrong. A jet like this can glide for miles, even with no engines.

[0:50](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=50) This one wasn't gliding, it was diving. Declare emergency, November 2 Bravo Delta.

[0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=57) We are in an overspeed condition. Descending 20,000 feet per minute.

[1:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=61) Altitude's your discretion. Let me know what you need.

[1:04](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=64) Overspeed means faster than the jet was built to fly.

[1:08](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=68) November 2 Bravo Delta, I'm here with you.

[1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=70) Talk to me. We are descending 22,000 feet and we are banking 60.

[1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=76) In just over a minute, they fell 26,000 feet.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/depBcVwEw4O8/en/florida-jet-emergency-26-000-foot-dive-after-turbulence?t=81) November 2 Bravo Delta, roger.
