No survivors.

Thrust reverser failure? Debris on the runway prior to the jet veering off into the hangar.

Looks like the hangar where Jerry Sienfeld keeps his Porches.

I don't think a CJ has thrust reversers.

I don't think a CJ has thrust reversers.

Some have thrust deflectors I believe....

Looks like they are saying the CEO , his son, and one other employee was on board.

The CEO mark may have been the pilot...he had private multi inst and a 525 type.

yeah, I meant to say thrust attenuators......

This airplane would have had attenuators as its a "straight" CJ2, but something went WAY wrong not involving the little flappy thingies on the back of the engines...

Yeah, those don't strike me as having much yaw authority.

I talked with someone who knows people on the Santa Monica Airport Commission this morning. The number one theory is that the pilot was high, long and fast and tried to land when he should have aborted breaking off one of the main gears and then the plane veered off the runway and impacted the hangar. He said its speculatory, but is the number one theory presently.
