Falcon 20D N28RK crash in Bahamas . . .

Reports are a Falcon 20D went into the Ocean 11 miles East of Grand Inagua, Bahamas - fatal for both crew on board, no passengers.

FlightAware shows aircraft departed Santa Domingo MDJB at 18:41 EST yesterday, headed for Ft. Lauderdale Florida KFXE.

If anyone has any details please post.

I was flying above and behind that plane in an MD80 about 50 miles. My first officer saw a ball of flame and that's it. Only afterwards did we hear the chatter on the freq and he deduced that it must have been it, because i don't think there are any refineries on Great Inagua.
Very sad really, Miami issued him a clearance, the jolly guy read it back. After no more than 5 minutes Miami came back with a re-clearance to FXE but got no reply. Sends chill down your spine is seeing how one minutes your just peachy and the next your battling for survival and failing.
