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.
