Story summary

On November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 crashed in a residential area of Cresthaven, Florida, just miles from Mar-a-Lago, killing all nine people on board. The plane departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and was en route to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it plunged into an intersection around 12:50 p.m., bursting into flames. According to reports, the jet clipped a tree before hitting power lines and crashing nose-first onto Military Trail, demolishing at least one mobile home. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the cause of the crash, which may have involved extreme forces and icing conditions reported by the cockpit crew prior to the incident. No casualties were reported on the ground.
