Summary
Nine people died when a Learjet 60 from Austin to the Bahamas crashed near Greenacres, Florida, on Nov. 1, and the NTSB says the cockpit voice recorder has now been recovered.
The recorder was found at the initial impact site and sent to the NTSB's Washington laboratory for evaluation as investigators examine what happened in the final moments of the flight.
911 calls placed around 12:51 p.m. described an explosion, shaking houses, and black smoke, with one witness saying it sounded like a bomb had gone off.
Heavy rain and thunderstorms were sweeping South Florida when the jet went down, making weather a central focus of the federal investigation.
