Same. I usually see this message shortly after someone uploads a video. I always assumed that the "processing" was the DR watermark being inserted but it's been over 15 hours on this one.

I was able to recover it. Should be good now.

Well, Glitches will happen! This site is so huge that I expect them from time to time. I don't cry over them. It's not like I have Laurie parked in my driveway, or Squirrel Elements roaming my back yard.

The aircraft was operating as a ferry flight. It had initially flown from Puerto Rico to the Dominican Republic to refuel. It was en route to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas to pick up former MLB All-Star catcher Yadier Molina and his family to fly them back to Puerto Rico. Because it was on its way to pick up the clients, no passengers had boarded yet.

Initial data and reports from the Dominican Republic's Aviation Accident Investigation Commission established that the emergency was triggered by a loss of power in the right engine alongside severe mechanical issues.

During the go-around, the crew radioed the air traffic control tower, stating they were experiencing severe difficulties maintaining aerodynamic control of the private jet.

Due to instability and experiencing a tailwind, the aircraft veered off the runway and into a rough, grassy safety zone.

The intense friction and uneven ground caused the number 1 engine (on the left wing) to completely rip off. The wing fuel tanks ruptured simultaneously, causing the aircraft to immediately burst into flames.
