Given the weather we have been having I wonder if wind shear was part of the issue.

Learjet air ambulance. I read that it descended at 11,000 ft per minute. Absolutely horrible

So sad. Allegedly 6 people on board. Crew of 4, pediatric patient and their parent.

That's 125 MPH but upon impact it was WAY faster than that. It was almost vertical. Horrible stuff.

It was only in the air for 40 seconds and estimated speed at impact over 240mph.
