Plane crash in Florida, US authorities say the plane began to disintegrate before hitting the ground [News Channel Now] US investigators say part of the small business jet that crashed in Florida on Sunday, killing nine people, may have disintegrated before the crash. Authorities continue to seal off the crash site in West Palm Beach, Florida, so that officials from the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board can investigate and gather evidence. The pilot of the small business jet involved sent out a distress signal before the crash, saying the plane had frozen and was descending at 20,000 feet per minute before finally falling to the ground, killing all nine people on board. Investigators at the National Transportation Safety Board said they found evidence that the plane's fuselage began to disintegrate before it hit the ground and believed parts of the plane would be found far from the scene. They also said weather conditions would be the focus of the investigation.
