Story summary

On November 1, 2026, a $2 million Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, near the Cresthaven area, killing multiple people on board. The jet had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Texas, en route to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas with nine passengers and crew. It nosedived into a residential mobile home park at a rate of 20,000 feet per minute, clipping trees and power lines before erupting into a massive fireball. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating whether weather conditions such as icing and turbulence contributed to the crash, after the pilots reported encountering these issues shortly before losing altitude.
