It looks like a more or less flat crash, with a lot of vertical speed and relatively little forward speed.

A Pilatus PC-12 carrying a family of six crashed in Central Florida on Thursday, killing all six individuals aboard after what appears to have been an in-flight separation of the aircraft, authorities say. [...]
Search and rescue personnel found debris from the accident strewn more than three miles from the main crash site.
According to investigators, the wreckage indicated “a rupture in the cabin area of the plane while it was in the air.” [...]
All aboard were found within the aircraft, except for one of the children, a 13-year-old named Boston Bramlage, whose body was found approximately 0.4 mile away.
Just 30 minutes prior to the crash, the single-engine turboprop had made a stopover to clear customs in Fort Pierce, Florida, while on what was to be a trip home from the Bahamas to Junction City, Kansas.
Images from FlightAware show the Pilatus PC-12 heading on a continuous northwest flight path after leaving Fort Pierce before veering sharply off-course to the right and continuing on for several miles before the crash. According to the NTSB, the aircraft had been flying at an altitude of 25,100 feet.

P.S. I hope no one intends to "blame" the dad for what happened to his family, even if it turns out he made a tragic mistake, because the one thing in the world we'd all tell him if we could is, "Don't blame yourself. It was an accident."

Originally posted by TeeVee View Postwell, what kind of in-flight break up are we talking about? in the pic, it appears as though the wings are still intact. can't see the tail, but since it's not made of cheap composites, i doubt it separated in the air.

Why it doesn't show on the list I don't know.
