Harrowing audio of the flight's final moments shows pilot Murphy calmly informing air traffic control that the plane was not going to 'make the runway'.
In the audio, an air traffic controller can be heard saying: “Got that. Emergency. Clear to land. Runway. Two. Three."
But Murphy then can be heard to say: “We’re clear to land, but we’re not gonna make the runway. We’ve lost both engines."
The pilots had attempted to land the aircraft on the nearby I-75 highway, but the landing did not succeed and the plane caught fire after it crashed.

Murphy had contacted the airport's tower just as the plane was scheduled to land requesting an emergency landing.
The plane was being operated by Hop-a-Jet Worldwide Charter, which is based in Fort Lauderdale, and had been due to fly back to Fort Lauderdale on Friday afternoon.
Ohio State University has confirmed in a statement that the plane is not affiliated with the university.
An investigation has been opened into the crash, and federal authorities have indicated that a preliminary report is expected to be published in around 30 days.
