Story summary

On November 1, 2026, a $2 million Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, near the Cresthaven area, resulting in multiple fatalities. The jet had nine people on board and was heading from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it encountered severe weather conditions, including icing and moderate turbulence at around 35,000 feet. Investigators found debris up to 3.8 miles away from the crash site, suggesting a violent impact that created a large crater. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating whether losing a key piece of the aircraft due to weather conditions or forces acting on it contributed to the crash.
