NetJets crash in Laredo TX

[SteveC]

I wonder if anyone has combed the ATC feeds to find out the reason that they declared/diverted?

It looks like they made a last minute change to use the freeway for the emergency landing. Dang, something must have happened pretty quickly.

Good thing there wasn't a giant fuel-fed fire...

I read a comment on reddit that they were just requesting lower altitudes and then transferred to a freq not covered by LiveATC
