1999 South Dakota Learjet Crash

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.On October 25, 1999, a chartered Learjet 35 flew between Orlando, Florida, and Dallas, Texas. Early in the flight, the aircraft was cruising at altitude on autopilot and gradually lost cabin pressure. As a result, all on board died of hypoxia, a lack of oxygen. The aircraft continued its flight over the southern and midwestern United States for almost four hours and 1,500 miles (2,400 km), until it ran out of fuel and crashed into a field near Aberdeen, South Dakota after an uncontrolled descent. Among the six people on board were golf stars Payne Stewart and Bruce Borland, a highly regarded golf architect with the Jack Nicklaus golf course design company.
