Sure looks a lot like Med Jets crash from earlier this year. Which was also a Learjet, albeit a 55.

Some photo evidence that the stabilizer came off. That's seldom a good thing.

@#7 ... Some photo evidence that the stabilizer came off. ...
If that bears out, a manufacturing defect or a maintenance defect?
I know, too soon to tell. ...

Or airframe stress exceeding design. It may well have come off in the dive, as opposed to causing it.
If it did detach, they will find it somewhere.

It's possible it froze and broke off given forces to move.
They requested higher altitude. But for some reason flew right into a very small cell of questionable weather.
-47C
But looking at the video stills it appears in tact, though shrouds around engine was missing.

Also the copilot stated 60 degree banking. Which sort of indicates all 4 corners were together at least at the start of the "descent"

The max maneuvering speed for this plane was 205kt, and for sure it wasn't close to GW, so less than this.
It was travelling at ~400kts, which is ok in no turbulence conditions, but looking at the radar they went right through a cell at time of "DESCENT".
So yeah, the horizontal stabilizer and elevator might have failed.

I sure don't see a horizontal stabilizer on the Lear in this photo taken from video milliseconds before it hit the ground:

don't see a horizontal stabilizer on the Lear in this photo
Someone will probably fish parts of it out of their pool in the next week or so.
