My heart goes out to the passengers and crew of the mishap aircraft. I have many hours in the Citation 1 and it's a very reliable and forgiving aircraft. I'll be following this story and will be waiting for the accident investigation reports. It sounds like a catastrophic engine malfunction from early reports, but as to the cause, I will wait and see. My heart also goes out to the families of the passengers and crew.

ITV News reported it as a Lear Jet.

Sounds like it stalled out. Does anyone know what year this particular LearJet came out?

Wasn't a Lear, it was a little straight-wing Slow-tation (Citation) 501. Are you one of those guys that calls every small private jet a "LearJet"?
