Parts of jet that crashed in Palm Beach County found miles away, NTSB says

Pieces of the jet that crashed in Palm Beach County on Sunday , killing nine people, were found nearly 4 miles away from the crash site, investigators said Tuesday.

National Transportation Safety Board member Tom Chapman said during a news conference that the discovery of a part of the tail located that far from the impact crater was an indication the plane was likely breaking up before it hit the ground.

He said parts of the plane were located as far as 3.8 miles from the impact site.
