跟进：佛州Learjet空难找到驾驶舱语音记录器 NTSB称已送华盛顿实验室评估
佛罗里达州 Greenacres — 美国国家运输安全委员会（NTSB）11月9日晚表示，调查人员已在11月1日 Learjet 60 公务机坠毁事故的初始撞击点找到驾驶舱语音记录器（CVR），记录器正送往位于华盛顿的 NTSB 车辆记录器实验室评估，现场挖掘工作已经完成。
这架公务机11月1日约12时45分自 Austin 飞往巴哈马途中在暴雨与雷暴天气中快速下降，坠毁于 Palm Beach 县 Greenacres 的 Military Trail 与 Cresthaven Boulevard 附近，机上9人全部遇难。调查人员此前已于11月8日宣布寻回机翼与发动机，并确认飞机在撞击地面前已开始在空中解体，一段尾翼残骸落在距撞击坑约3.8英里的地方。
NTSB 主席 Jennifer Homendy 再次呼吁在事故区域拾到残骸碎片的民众与该机构联系。调查人员希望记录器能还原飞行员在快速下降前与空中交通管制员的通话。NTSB 表示，初步报告预计约一个月内发布，而事故的可能原因通常需要一到两年才能确定。

Follow-Up: Cockpit Voice Recorder Found in Florida Learjet Crash, NTSB Says It Is Being Evaluated in Washington
Greenacres, Florida — The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said late on November 9 that investigators had recovered the cockpit voice recorder (CVR) of the Learjet 60 that crashed on November 1, locating it at the site of the aircraft's initial impact. The recorder is being evaluated at the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, D.C., and excavation work at the impact site has been completed.
The business jet went down at about 12:45 p.m. on November 1 near Military Trail and Cresthaven Boulevard in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, during heavy rain and thunderstorms on a flight from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas, killing all nine people aboard. Investigators had announced on November 8 that both wings and engines had been recovered, and said the aircraft had begun breaking up in midair before impact, with a section of the tail found more than 3.8 miles from the crater.
NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy again asked anyone in the area who finds debris to contact the agency. Investigators hope the recorder captured communications between the pilots and air traffic controllers before the rapid descent. The NTSB expects a preliminary report in about a month, while a probable cause determination typically takes one to two years.
