Story summary

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the Learjet that crashed in Florida on November 1, killing all nine people aboard. The device was found at the crash site near Greenacres, where severe weather conditions caused the plane to break apart before impact and erupt into a fireball. Federal investigators are hoping this recorder will provide crucial details about what transpired during the flight's final moments, as they face a complicated and lengthy investigation due to the extensive damage to the aircraft.
