Pics of site at this link Polk County plane crash 06-07-12 | TBO.com

Miami control was quoted on our local news as them being about 25 minutes out of clearing Customs at Ft Pierce approx 21,500 ft when a hard turn, followed by another hard turn and Mayday without details of the specific problem.
Lost from radar and no further comms.
A lot of effort is going into finding the lost 13yo boy who was verified on plane leaving Ft Pierce but not found at crash site.

Such a sad story. May the answers be found soon. Wx was rainy over whole state with embedded squalls, but not as strong as our "normal" summer thunder boomers.
CNN characterizes the area as swamp; actually it is upland scrub, so search and investigation won't be as difficult.
