[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=5) Seven-two-two Bravo Delta, three-five-zero, moderate turbulence, plus or minus, okay, now seven hundred feet, six hundred feet. [0:14](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=14) Two pilot, seven passengers, thirty-five thousand feet above Florida. [0:19](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=19) Negative forty-seven degrees Celsius. We're managing the ice, but it is moderate turbulence. [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=24) We're direct report. The crew reported ice and turbulence, moving the jet by seven hundred feet. [0:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=30) Cumulonimbus were building. Investigators still don't know if the jet flew into one. [0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=36) Roger, two Bravo Delta. Now we're picking up precipitation. [0:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=39) We need to climb, um, three-seven-zero, able, two Bravo Delta. [0:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=43) The climb was approved. Climb three-seven-zero, two Bravo Delta. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=47) Less than thirty seconds later, they declared an emergency. [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=51) Seven-two-two Bravo Delta, we're descending eight thousand-- Mayday, mayday, we're descending ten thousand feet per minute. [0:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=57) November seven-two-two Bravo Delta, roger. [1:00](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=60) Declaring emergency, seven-two-two Bravo Delta. [1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=62) We are in an overspeed condition, descending twenty thousand feet per minute. [1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=66) A normal descent is about two thousand feet a minute. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=70) This jet passed thirty-two thousand. That's an Eiffel Tower every two second. [1:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=76) Overspeed means faster than the jet is allowed to fly. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=80) One early estimate, unverified, is close to seven hundred miles an hour. [1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=85) November seven-two-two Bravo Delta, roger. [1:27](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=87) Altitude your discretion. Let me know what you need. [1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=90) We're gonna crash into the ground, seven-two-two Bravo Delta. [1:33](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=93) So what caused it? The NTSB hasn't named a cause. [1:37](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=97) Experts point to storm tops, ice, or losing control at high altitude, and investigators have some evidence the jet began breaking up before impact. [1:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=106) November two Bravo Delta, I'm here with you. [1:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=108) Talk to me. We are descending twenty-two thousand feet, and we are banking sixty degrees. [1:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=116) Still talking, still calling out the numbers. [1:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=119) November two Bravo Delta, roger. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=127) Holy , we're out of time. November two Bravo Delta. [2:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=132) November two Bravo Delta, how do you hear? [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=136) November two Bravo Delta, my- So what would they have felt? [2:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=141) In that last minute, they knew. You can hear it. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=145) But impact is different. At that speed, the jet covers three hundred meters a second. [2:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=150) The impact reaches the cockpit in about ten milliseconds. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=154) The fastest pain nerves carry signals at thirty meters a second. [2:39](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=159) In ten milliseconds, that's thirty centimeters. [2:42](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=162) The brain's first response to pain takes around a hundred and twenty milliseconds. [2:46](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=166) A blink takes about a hundred and... It was over before the signal could reach the brain. [2:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=172) As far as the science can tell us, they most likely felt nothing. [2:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/o6NiVvEy8HQP/en/learjet-60-crash-over-florida-final-radio-calls-and-investigation?t=176) Rest in peace to all nine souls lost that day.
