I went to FXE yesterday to have a closer look and the security cameras at Banyan caught the entire crash. The reasons why it happened are not clear yet, but one thing is for sure, they took off from 26 and immediately after t/o the airplane began shaking violently (I heard from one of the passengers) and the pilots turned right and did a full circle to land at 13, missing the Banyan building by a few yards, landing on the grass and then skidding all the way to the fence, again missing all the Cirrus of Platinum Aviation by a few feet. There are rumors that the pilots had very little experience in this specific Citation model, but only the preliminary NTSB report will shed some light. The fact that they landed and no one was hurt is a testament to their skills.
Based on Bruce's comments and the fact that all aboard are safe, gotta give a HUGE hat's off to the pilots for getting her back on the ground. Awesome job.
As they say, "any landing you walk away from....."

Brilliant job by the pilots, and the aircraft might even be repairable, or even if it's a write-off, everybody walked away. Would love to know what was wrong with the airplane, based on Bruce's description, maybe a flight control problem?

Wait a year till the NTSB final report comes out, then you will have the REAL information on which you can base your comments.
I was standing about 60 yards away when he hit the dirt, I also had to scream at the security truck parked on B2 to get his ass down there and help!
The erratic flying that resulted in the emergency landing could have been induced by the pilot's improper weight and balance. Therefore it is too soon to say good job to the pilots. Being a good airman takes more than just flying skill.
