“Mach Tuck”? Investigators Say Learjet 60 May Have Broken Apart Before Florida Crash

The Learjet 60 that crashed on Sunday afternoon in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people aboard, may have broken apart before slamming into the ground.The Learjet 60 (N722BD) was flying from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas (with passengers likely visiting Harbor Island) when it encountered severe thunderstorms and turbulence. ‼️DEVELOPING: RADAR SHOWS JET FLEW INTO A STORM CORE AT 35,000 FEETAnalysis of Miami NEXRAD radar shows the Learjet 60 (N722BD) entered a thunderstorm core near Wellington at about 12:48 PM ET, just before it crashed in Palm Beach County.At 35,000 feet, radar echoes around… pic.twitter.com/Tt83Gpcck5— Live Storm Chasers (@LiveStormChaser) November 1, 2026
The young woman copilot reported icing at 35,000 feet, followed shortly by overspeed conditions and an accelerating descent rate of between 10,000 and 22,000 feet per minute.”The weather conditions are a major focus of the investigation,” NTSB board member Tom Chapman said, quoted by Reuters. Investigators have found evidence suggesting an in-flight breakup and may locate aircraft parts some distance from the main impact area, he added.The Learjet’s maximum operating limits, VMO and MMO, change with altitude. At the altitude the jet was flying before the crash, the operating limit was around Mach 0.81:There are concerns that icing and moderate turbulence led to a phenomenon called “Mach tuck,” in which a jet’s nose pitches downward at high speeds as airflow over parts of the wing becomes supersonic and shock waves form. (excuse the tiktok video), apparently it *could have* also been something called “mach tuck”. Commercial aircraft have been built structurally to prevent this. But it seems Learjet & also older planes CAN be susceptible. https://t.co/YrG4OPtSsA pic.twitter.com/6wyUl3hoQ5— 𝒥𝚊𝚗𝑒 𝒟𝚘𝑒 (@femanthropy) November 2, 2026
If so, it may explain why the pilot lacked sufficient elevator control due to an in-flight breakup as the aircraft exceeded its maximum operating speed. WATCH: New video shows Learjet 60 business jet crashing near West Palm Beach, Florida.The plane was completely disintegrated upon impact.

Unconfirmed reports on X say the Instagram account “divisionofaero” found a flight control surface several miles from the crash site, which would indicate overspeed conditions and the resulting breakup of part of the aircraft.From Instagram account “divisionofaero” — Someone found a flight control surface several miles from the crash site.

The ATC audio of the young copilot communicating with controllers in the area is one of the worst recordings some commercial pilots say they have ever heard.

A federal appeals court briefly lifted a block on the Trump administration’s efforts to investigate alleged voting by noncitizens in California, then reversed course hours later, sending the dispute to the full 11-judge 9th Circuit for rehearing.Earlier Monday night, a three-judge panel granted the Justice Department’s request to pause a temporary restraining order issued by a San Francisco federal judge. That order had barred the administration from making further requests to set aside ballots under the warning of prosecution of state and local election officials who declined.The panel said the government was likely to prevail in arguing that its requests and criminal investigations were core executive functions.FEDERAL JUDGE BLOCKS TRUMP DOJ’S THREATS AGAINST ELECTION WORKERS AHEAD OF 2026 MIDTERMSHours later, the full 9th Circuit vacated the ruling and ordered the case reheard by all 11 active judges, according to the court’s order. The move restored the district court’s restrictions while the full court considers the dispute.”The TRO issued by a San Francisco judge purporting to restrict DOJ investigations into election officials has been appropriately lifted,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on X before the temporary restraining order was restored. “Conducting criminal investigations is a core function of the executive branch, not the judiciary.”The case against investigating allege noncitizen voting was brought by labor unions and civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the League of United Latin American Citizens. They argued that DOJ and Homeland Security letters to election officials, which warned of potential criminal liability over ballots linked to suspected noncitizens, amounted to intimidation.CALIFORNIA ELECTION WORKERS HIT WITH CRIMINAL SUBPOENAS AS TRUMP DOJ TURNS UP HEAT IN VOTING SHOWDOWNThe Trump administration argues that allowing illegal voting and halting investigative work could lead to prosecution for those involved.”Americans deserve to have confidence in their elections,” Essayli wrote late Monday night. “The courts have made it clear that the preferred remedy for election law violations is criminal prosecution. Building on Operation Protect the Vote, we will continue investigating and charging those who violate election laws or assist in their violation.”The appeals court whiplash followed a separate Supreme Court rejection of the Trump administration’s effort to protect the vote Monday. The justices denied an emergency request to require California to set aside mail ballots from roughly 20,000 registered voters federal officials flagged as likely noncitizens.BLANCHE ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST 10 PERMANENT RESIDENTS ACCUSED OF MINNESOTA VOTER FRAUD”We will continue pursuing every available legal avenue to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure federal law is enforced,” acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Trent ​McCotter wrote on X.The administration had demanded that California separate any allegedly unlawful ballots from other ballots and not count them until those voters are determined to be U.S. citizens through investigations that the state has rejected without review.”Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back,” the Justice Department wrote in its request to the Supreme Court.DHS OFFICIAL VOWS TO PROSECUTE AND DEPORT NONCITIZENS CAUGHT ILLEGALLY VOTING AHEAD OF MIDTERMSThe DOJ has been forced into a legal Catch-22 where it has to watch votes be cast in California, even if they have alleged evidence of them being noncitizen voters, and then pursue legal action afterward.Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that 63 people were charged with election crimes Monday.”Today’s announcement marks the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President [Donald] Trump returned to office,” Blanche wrote in a statement. “These foreign nationals allegedly took advantage of the trust of the American people and flouted the laws that govern our nation’s elections. This Department of Justice will continue investigating and prosecuting voter fraud to restore confidence in our electoral system.”The DOJ has charged 195 illegal immigrants across 25 states with illegal voting and voter registration offenses in the past nine weeks. There have been charges against 239 people with voting fraud offenses since Trump returned to the White House, according to the DOJ.

Also probably not a popular response, but they weren’t very becoming on some of the girls,” one fan wrote on Instagram. “They’re beautiful that attractive ladies. My point was there could’ve been something else selected that would’ve made them look and feel a whole lot better.”It was just a total disaster of a day for the organization.

Thank god it’s over until the next cycle which will probably start in March. On Monday, I received EIGHT text messages from campaigns trying to get me to vote for them.I’ve also received two video messages from Archie Griffin telling me to vote. And, I’m not kidding, as I typed the last sentence, yet another text message came in telling me where to vote.Give me those Christmas commercials.The story of this guy who was walking around the world for 28 years is being hailed as some sort of accomplishment for humanity. Meanwhile, this loser left two kids in the UK so he could go for a walk.And I’m told he couldn’t come back to see his kids because he would’ve broken his promise to walk around the world. Bulls–t. I’m also not convinced that this guy swam all the way across the English Channel.And what was stopping this guy from jumping on Zoom to talk to his mother? The BBC reported, “His mother, who had not seen him for a decade, told Bushby: ‘Where have you been?'”I’m not buying any of this. The guy’s a deadbeat.”Under the rules he set for his journey, he could not return to the UK to meet his family,” the BBC added. “On rare occasions, he met his son and parents, who are divorced, in other countries.”What other ‘deal’ am I missing in family ready-to-go meals these days?• Jack N. sent this to the Daily OutKick newsletter, but I would like to answer it: How can you explain Ohio State coaching, they were playing the 4th quarter like they were two touchdowns up.  They continued to run the ball play after play and down 2 scores, well Day did  it again, terrible play calling, he won the stats and lost by a lot, amazing.Kinsey: Two words – ARTHUR & SMITH. The guy thinks he’s in the middle of an NFL season. There’s zero sense of urgency. We’ve watched him not call a single play for Jeremiah Smith with the ball on the one-yard-line. We’ve watched him put the QB in the gun from the one-yard-line.I honestly have no idea how the guy keeps getting jobs.• Gen X Warren has a theory: MJ Halloween costumes: one of my neighbor’s twin sons dressed as Thriller MJ and kids all around the neighborhood have been all about Michael Jackson playing the music. It’s because of the massive hit film earlier this year. It’s interesting to see Gen Alpha really embrace MJ.Kinsey: Kids were watching a Michael Jackson documentary? Warren, I want to believe you, but I’m not sure kids around here are sitting down to watch an MJ doc. This has to be something they’re seeing on Fortnite, TikTok or some other game/app I don’t know about.• ‘Sheriff’ John in Houston adds his perspective: 1) On the groceries, we used to do the HEB curbside when the boys were younger, but that eventually just became its own PITA. When we did, I was always leery of letting them pick out my produce and fresh meat. Now we just make random grocery and costco runs when we need something or have decided to cook. Other than that, we eat out a lot and I see that getting even more frequent once the final child goes to college next year (I’ve noticed older couples eat out a lot). Personally, my preferred time for grocery shopping is 10:00 PM on a weeknight or 6:00 AM on a Saturday. Hate crowds.2) On the college football question. First, OU is having a pretty bad season (except against my Longhorns) so you might expect attendance to be down. That photo might not be indicative of the whole sport. Second, big college stadiums are always slow to fill up pregame and that picture was obviously taken before kickoff. ALL THAT BEING SAID… I have noticed that my personal interest in CFB is waning. I still love gambling and staying up late drinking on the porch on saturdays, but the free agent / mercenary culture is really kind of off-putting.Those aren’t “our guys” anymore, they are someone else’s guys we are paying to come play for us. Texas is the worst. We can pay the most for players and we still have the same problems year to year. It does tend to strangle out the enthusiasm in the fans, at least for this fan, and I can really see how fans of the smaller poorer schools lose enthusiasm as well. As soon as you have some good players, they just leave. That would suck. So, to circle back on your question, I don’t know if that particular OU photo means anything, but I do think the average fan is losing interest.• Jeff E. emails: I don’t go into a grocery store that often.  Maybe once every three months.  FYI – I wouldn’t have groceries delivered.  It’s one of those analog human experiences I sort of enjoy.  New products.  Seeing someone I know.  Plus I want control over my purchases.Here’s a confession.  A few times – in the past – I’ve seen employees pushing carts around and shopping for an online order.  I have – very occasionally and randomly – taken an item – like a bag of Dove chocolates – and when the shopper isn’t looking I add it to a bag.  A treat for the online shopper.   There you go.  My thoughts on online shopping.• Joey G. tells us: Joe, I’m writing this to give the readers plenty of time to plan on this one.

Hennepin County has denied the Department of Justice’s request to place election monitors inside Minneapolis-area polling places for Tuesday’s midterm election.
The county will be forcing federal staff to remain outside the state’s 100-foot boundary, in plain clothes, and limit them to voluntary interviews with voters after they leave.
The decision, confirmed by the office of Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, is the same rule they applied during the August primary.
The DOJ is currently deploying monitors nationwide, including teams focused on Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park, and Brooklyn Center.
According to statements from Moriarty’s office, the county consulted the Minnesota Secretary of State’s Office and others before rejecting the request for interior access.
DOJ monitors “will not be permitted inside polling places but instead will remain outside a 100-foot boundary from the polling locations, in compliance with Minnesota law.”
The monitors are expected to be DOJ staff in plainclothes and may attempt to interview voters as they exit, but participation is entirely voluntary.
Moriarty said her office is “committed to ensuring free, safe, and fair elections” and will review reports of potentially unlawful behavior directed at voters or election workers.
“Our office is fully prepared to protect and defend your right to vote,” Moriarty said in a press release about the request. “Any reports of threats, harassment, or intimidation directed at voters or election workers will be reviewed and, if appropriate, prosecuted.”
Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said both Hennepin and Ramsey counties declined the DOJ’s request, as they are permitted to do under state law, and that his office, along with the Attorney General’s Office, will have observers watch the federal monitors, according to a CBS Minnesota report.
The restriction rests on Minnesota Statute § 204C.06, which limits who may enter a polling place or stand within 100 feet of the building.
Federal monitors lack automatic authority to go inside without local consent. This leaves the DOJ unable to directly observe the interior of polling places in the largest county in a state at the center of recent national attention over ballot handling, noncitizen voting concerns, and the influence of concentrated immigrant communities, including the large Somali population in Minneapolis represented by Rep. Ilhan Omar.
The DOJ plans to have monitors working in every state.
