Story summary

On November 1, 2026, a $2 million Learjet 60 crashed in Greenacres, a mobile home park near West Palm Beach, Florida, killing all nine people on board. The jet had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas bound for the Bahamas and was worth approximately $2 million. It clipped trees and power lines before hitting the ground with such force that it caused a massive fireball. Parts of the plane's engine were later found scattered across the area, including debris on nearby rooftops. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of the crash, which occurred after the crew reported icing conditions and turbulence to air traffic control.
