If the Brazilian accident airplane truly was a 560XL, then this video clip is not of the accident airplane. While I haven't quite figured out what the video subject airplane is, it clearly is not a C560XL.

Also, while the video shows strong crosswinds, it was supposedly raining heavily at the time of the crash, and there is no evidence of that in the video.

This video is not a CE560XL, looks to me like a Challenger 601/604/605.... Not too mention is 3-4k ft down the runway already still playing for a landing...!

That was my first thought but the more I look the more I think it's a small G something. 200 or whatever.

Looks like the CVR was not working at the time of the crash.
