This crash involved another Cessna business jet very similar to, if not exactly like the aircraft that was involved in the crash involving Dale Earnhart Jr. and ironically as well as miraculously, all 10 passengers were able to walk away with only minor injuries. No fatalities.
Is it a fluke, or some either intentional or coincidental engineering advantage possibly connected to the configuration and location of the engines and fuel cells? It would be interesting to know. I found when I was a crash firefighter, familiar with some aircraft that the fuel cells are located in many different places on an aircraft depending on the need for capacity and volume of fuel needed for the particular aircraft, it's range, and purpose of mission. Some have cells in the wings, some in the belly or rear of the plane, and some have them in all those places as well as overhead in the ceiling, and under the fuselage in the belly. MOST aircraft have fuel cells in the wings, and that is why it surprises me that Dale Jr's plane didn't explode and burn quickly when it ended up on it's side with one wing torn off or dislodged. There was 1000 gallons of jet fuel on the aircraft. Things could have turned out much differently in BOTH of these cases involving the Cessna jets.
I think that if I was looking to purchase a business jet I would walk right past the Lear jet and buy a Cessna.
