Part of an engine from a Learjet 60 that crashed in Florida on Sunday, killing all nine people on board, has been recovered by investigators.

A Learjet 60 crashed in Greenacres, Florida, on Sunday in a ball of flames, killing all nine people on board. The plane was en route from Austin, Texas to the Bahamas. The National Transportation Safety Board said that a 'portion of one engine' was found during excavation work at the crash site on Thursday.

Among those who died was the 20-year-old co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, who made the final radio transmissions, technology entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, and their two young children. The crash left a gaping hole in the ground at the impact location.

Debris has been found away from the impact location and on the roofs of homes and buildings near the crash site. All recovered wreckage will be sent to a secure location for further examination. The NTSB is urging locals who find debris or parts to contact the agency and not to move, alter or dispose of them, as even small pieces may contain important evidence.
