Regional plane crashes with helicopter

Remember 9/11? The terrorists chose non stop cross country flights because they were completely full of fuel. This Lear jet was full of fuel too but because it's a small jet they were stopping at the Springfield/Branson airport to fuel. But hitting the pavement at that speed with that much fuel will give you a huge fireball. Why did they fly that fast at that trajectory? They had just taken off, were flying fast to gain altitude, and likely got into conditions where they lost awareness of up or down. Spatial something or other. What was believed to have happened to JFK Jr when he crashed. No conspiracy. Very real tragedy.

This AA pilot (8 years Navy/34 with AA, mandatory retirement next year) is thinking it was a stall. Disruption of the airflow over the wings. Would explain the angle. Not enough altitude to recover.

Potential causes:

-Improper center of gravity
-Engine failure

We can only hope that the pilot wasn’t an illegal alien, black or a women…😳
Do a Carrier landing on gear not built for Carrier landings and this happens.
Note no flair in the video of the approach and no gusts because smoke is vertical.
Looks like just a botched landing.
Did you see the idiot with the cell phone inside?

Yep no flair.
Cell phone idiot agree.
ATC said winds were 23 with gusts to 33.
