I'm pretty sure the plane just flew into really bad weather, became unflyable, and augered into the ground.

Doesn't bode well for those types of jets.
Have any Learjets been know to fall out of the sky before?
AIs answer:
"Yes, Learjets have experienced sudden, rapid plunges from the sky before, caused by a variety of distinct aerodynamic, structural, or environmental factors."
"While the Learjet family is renowned for its high thrust-to-weight ratio and ability to climb aggressively to high altitudes, its unique "T-tail" design and short wing profiles make it notoriously unforgiving when pushed beyond its operational boundaries."
That's it then. I guess I won't be flying in a Learjet anymore.
Who's flying you around in a Learjet 60? =P
This would be the first known 60 crash due to icing.
