Flight aware data shows pretty slow heading change and fairly constant ground speed out of 10000, but vertical speed at -7000fpm when it stopped tracking at 3000’.
Doesn’t look like a spin.

Seriously sick to my stomach right now and I don't know the crew personally. Prayers for the families.

Heartbreaking. I know a few former Omni and NAA guys at Atlas. Hope they're ok. Condolences to the crew lost and to their families and friends.

If you go to LiveATC KIAH approach archives at 1830z the 4 minute mark approach let’s them know that there is light to heavy precip and if they need to deviate to let them know. Then at 8 minutes they give a call that goes unanswered and shortly after that approach begins to ask aircraft if they are picking up and ELT that’s all I could get from the archives.

Just looked on cnn and all they had was stupid political crap in big red with this crash an after thought in a tiny headline below. Had this been an airline crash or a mash shooting with only 2 dead as they call it it takes up the whole page with super bold letters. Stupid media and their priorities.
