On November 1, 2026, Aki Kuusisto’s dash cam recorded the final seconds of a Learjet 60 near Greenacres, Florida. The Learjet points nose-first toward the ground, strikes beside the road, and produces a fireball while vehicles continue along Military Trail nearby.
Kuusisto shared the recording through Storyful. You can watch the dashcam footage on Euronews. The jet came down near Military Trail and 10th Avenue North around 12:50 p.m. All nine people aboard died.
The flight had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was traveling toward the Bahamas. The camera recorded the aircraft from the road; it could not show what happened in the cockpit. On November 9, the National Transportation Safety Board announced it had recovered the cockpit voice recorder. The agency sent it to its Washington lab to find out whether the audio could be recovered.
How do you save footage when your car was only a witness?
A collision sensor responds to what happens to your car. If a plane goes down or two vehicles collide ahead of you, your camera may record the whole event without marking the clip for safekeeping. With loop recording, an unprotected clip can eventually be overwritten.
Once you are safely parked, use the camera’s save function or find the recording in its playback menu. Check the clips on either side of the event: the approach may be at the end of one file and the impact at the start of the next. On the Garmin Dash Cam 30 and 35, for example, a manual save protects the previous, current and next files. Other models handle that window differently.
Copy the original files to a computer before trimming or sharing anything. If an investigator asks for the recording, you can hand over the full sequence, including the seconds before anyone in the vehicle realized what was happening.
