The chilling audio of the last message from a private jet has been revealed — moments before it crashed near a Florida mobile home park, killing all nine people on board.
“Holy f***, we’re out of time,” a female crew member aboard the Learjet 60 is heard yelling to an air traffic controller in the final seconds before the plane plummeted into a nose dive at about 12:50 p.m. Sunday.
The crash happened near Cresthaven, about 14 kilometres from Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s resort in Palm Beach County.
Seemingly fine until the Mayday call
The audio begins with the pilot calmly reporting to the Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center that they were dealing with moderate turbulence and “manageable” ice before the flight crew said they were encountering precipitation and going to climb, according to the recording of air traffic control radio calls captured by LiveATC.net .
But things almost instantly took a turn for the worse as she issued a mayday call, with the now-panicked pilot alerting air traffic control of their rapid plunge.
“We’re descending 8,000 — mayday, mayday — we’re descending 10,000 feet per minute,” the pilot told air traffic controllers.
“We are in an overspeed condition, descending 20,000 feet per minute,” the pilot screamed, according to the disturbing audio .
She then tells air traffic controllers: “We’re going to crash into the ground.”
After the crew member let out a scream, the controller is heard saying, “November two bravo delta, I’m here with you, talk to me,” before the pilot’s reply ahead of her haunting final message.
“We are descending 22,000 feet, and we are banking, 60 degrees… look outside,” she screamed.
“Holy f***, we’re out of time,” before the plane’s audio cuts off.
“Holy f*ck, we’re out of time” Heart crushing ATC audio captures the moments before a Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all 9 souls on board.

No injuries reported on the ground
Flight analysis indicates that the jet was plummeting hundreds of feet per second before crashing, according to the outlet.
Unverified dash-cam footage shared on social media shows what appears to be the moment of the crash.
Vehicles are driving on a residential street when an aircraft smashes vertically into the ground, nose first, before exploding into a massive fireball, leaving a crater in the middle of the road.
Miraculously, there were no injuries on the ground.
“When you see that video, it’s a jarring thing,” Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis told reporters at a news conference after the crash. “It was a cataclysmic plane crash. It looked like a missile going down, and a massive explosion, debris going everywhere.”
Where was the plane headed and who was on it?
The aircraft had departed from Austin, Texas, and was headed to the Bahamas, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said in a statement.
The identities of those on board have not been confirmed, or details on how many were passengers and crew, though DeSantis said as of Sunday, “we don’t have reports of anyone who was on the ground… who was killed or injured.”
It is unclear if scattered storms in the area at the time contributed to the crash, though the plane passed through a stronger storm cell a few minutes before it began descending.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy described the crash as a “horrific tragedy” on X, and said the FAA would be helping the National Transportation Safety Board with the investigation.
Where did the plane crash?
The crash happened on Military Trail, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office , a busy six-lane roadway lined with businesses and restaurants.
The scene is also blocking the entrance to a mobile home park, forcing the evacuation of about 600 people who are being sent to two shelters as the crash is investigated.
Officials said the crash caused considerable damage to local infrastructure, per the Post , and it would be at least 30 days before the road reopens.
The crash marks the second deadliest plane crash in the United States this year, according to NTSB records, per CNN .
In June, 12 people died when a skydiving plane crashed in Butler, Missouri.
