Florida Learjet crash witness describes apocalyptic scene in frantic 911 call: ‘It was black, it was dark’

A woman who witnessed the fiery Learjet crash in Florida frantically described the apocalyptic scene in a 911 call to dispatchers moments after the $2 million jet smashed into the ground.

The Bahamas-bound plane nose-dived near a mobile home park in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, around 1 p.m. on Nov. 1, producing an enormous fireball, killing all nine people on board, and leaving a huge crater in the road.

Scores of witnesses called 911 dispatchers to report the tragedy — with one woman frantically comparing the scene to a “bomb explosion.”

“There was an explosion,” the panicked caller said in dispatch audio obtained by Fox News Digital.
“I think an airplane or rocket, something fell from the sky. We felt our house shake, and then we heard an explosion when we ran outside.

“It was black, it was dark, like burning,” she said of the apocalyptic-like scene.
