Yesterday showed the internet at its absolute worst. While nine families were learning their loved ones died in the West Palm Beach Learjet crash, shameless grifters were already turning the crater into a cesspool of ignorant conspiracy theories. Millions of views on pure fiction—from Lenny Kravitz being on board to claims it wasn't even a plane. Let's go through the worst of it: Shot down by the Mar-a-Lago air defenses? Short-range systems like the Stinger top out around 10,000 feet. Flight tracking had this jet at about 35,000 feet before the dive. A missile, not a plane? It was Learjet 60 N722BD, Austin to North Eleuthera. The crew was on the radio with Miami Center reporting ice and turbulence, then a mayday and an overspeed at 20,000 feet per minute. See @alexboge overlay of the final crash frame False flag? A real tail number, a real route, a real cockpit voice, real flight tracking, real video of the crash. An ADS-B reconstruction of the final 78 seconds. NTSB investigators will report later today. No debris? A near vertical impact at that speed shatters an airframe into unrecognizable pieces. A Learjet captain told CBS12 exactly that. Photos and video of he crash site show it littered with small pieces of twisted metal. ATC audio came out too early? LiveATC(.)net records air traffic radio publicly in near real time. Nobody released it. It was available everywhere. It did not come from a blackbox. DEI pilot? Nothing released points to the pilot. Ice, turbulence and an overspeed are what the tapes show. We know the pilot was a woman. That's it. Some people are naming her. I prefer to wait on the official announcement. Nine people died. The NTSB briefs today in West Palm Beach. Can we wait for the facts before we use their deaths to sell a theory?
