Lost both engines and didn't make it to the runway. Comments are saying it hit a truck and witnesses don't think anyone got out. ETA: 3 out of 5 on board got out

Wow. Truck driver killed too Im assuming?

Imagine driving that truck. My first thought would be swerve to the shoulder without even checking your mirrors.

Damn!

That’s one of East Shores Jets.

They got smacked by the FAA a few years back for unauthorized operations.

Someone of some notoriety I would assume. Sure some of our Ohio folks would recognize a name or 2.

Meh, no big loss for society. Sad people lost their lives but to care based on sportsy personalities is a misplaced life.

News per ATC audio is saying lost an engine or both, which is really unusual on a landing scenario.

Holy shit. It flew almost right over my house shortly before it crashed. I’m shocked I haven’t heard any sirens or anything. When exactly did it crash?

Looks like they got on the ground pretty good then likely hit a car or wall. The rear of the plane and rear gear  looks fine. Sad.

Both engines?
Sounds like a fueling issue.

Those CL-30's get good range of 3300 miles and burn less than 300 gal/hr. No idea how they didn't fuel up for that flight... unless it was something stupid they did.

You typically carry just trip fuel, not fully topped off especially for a short trip around CONUS

Could be anything from improper fuel management to DEF contamination at this point.

No sense in speculation

5 souls on board,  3 made it out.  

Crash was on landing, wasn't a contamination issue.  Fire says they had plenty.

Is that kind of flame, for that long, possible if the plane is out of fuel?

The pilot called in the emergency and said he lost his engines. He was given clearance to land, but he said he wouldn’t make it and was aiming for the interstate.

Probably not, but someone mentioned that Fire Rescue said they detected plenty of jet fuel.

118/111 knots is very slow for that type.  Hard leading edge super-critical airfoils don’t like slow.
[edit] or any type of contamination.

Holy shit, not often a dual engine aircraft loses both engines.

Fuel? We recently had an issue where de-ice fluid was placed in our fuel instead of PRIST.

At first I was wondering why it landed into the flow of traffic.   The marks on the walls make it look like it landed with traffic, then perhaps spun into the wall and then ended up 180 degrees to traffic.

Tag for more info on occupants and condition of the driver of the vehicle involved.

Imagine sticking that landing only to hit a truck.

Those are ground speeds.  No idea indicated but I figured they would have a headwind turning final.

Wonder if they had fuel but fell victim to the error of shutting down the good engine after losing the other engine.

So full fuel is approx 2500gallons/16500 pounds

Likely tankard fuel to Columbus which round trip dependent on winds and stuff is about half the 604 range.  So based on the post accident fireball they either had a lot of contamination or just ran out of fuel

There’s many reasons why dual failures occur with plenty of fuel on board.

Flt 1549 suffered dual engine failure due to birds. In 2008 British Airways 777 went down due to fuel icing on approach, DEF contamination knocked two Citations out both suffering dual engine failure a few years back.

Maybe I am misunderstanding,  604 range is around 3800 n-miles, KOSU -> KAPF is 834nm.

But 2 hrs and 850 miles of flying makes contamination a curious possibility.  

Weather was around 7knts, clouds broken at 5,000 feet and 74 degrees.

Maybe birds?
