Yesterday was one of the worst I’ve seen and a solemn reminder of the inherent dangers of aviation. Just another reason why I always wish flight crews a safe flight before I hang up the phone. Blue skies and tailwinds to those that were lost.

I’m a port contractor at Teterboro so I’m somewhat limited as to what I can publicly say. Yesterday we had a fatal aircraft incident around 1530 about a half hour after I went on duty. Plenty of press coverage available though by now. NTSB got there late last night to process the scene today.

It crashed on final approach.

I just saw that footage. It’s horrifying. Seems like there’s an awful lot of incidents with those Lear 35s given the number around.

Very scant details released so far. The public ATC audio gives no clues.

I’m nearby and saw the plume of smoke. Didnt know it was a Lear 35 crash until later.

Like I said I’m in ops so I can’t really speculate or comment on the cause of the crash

I understand. I just hadn’t heard about it. Thanks.

“Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth,
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun-split clouds -
and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of -
wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence.
Hovering there I’ve chased the shouting wind along
and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

“Up, up the long delirious burning blue 
I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace, 
where never lark, or even eagle, flew; 
and, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod 
the high untrespassed sanctity of space, 
put out my hand and touched the face of God. ”

My sister called me as she left school (she teaches less than a mile from there) to say she could see heavy smoke to the south. We both knew what it probably was...sadly no survivors. Amazing no one was hurt on the ground. Departures from TEB are constantly over my house on their climb to 6K feet.

Way too soon, but as has been widely reported, it was crazy windy here yesterday with gusts up to 40mph.

Just one of those situations when you hear the radio call and you know it’s not going to be good.

A departing pilot had radioed experiencing wind shear departing 24. I’d hazard a guess that they flew their approach too slow for the wind conditions or weren’t able to respond quick enough to escape the shear, gusting 39 as reported before the crash at TEB. Quiet ATC usually points to something other than a mechanical.

I work in the area and I’ve been thinking about how fucked I could have been yesterday.

Lost my mind for a second, thanks for the correction to 6.

The guys that work in the public works building were reported to have left work just 15 min before impact. Sometimes your number gets called sometimes you walk away wondering what could’ve happened.
