Quick Summary

On Monday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) provided details of a fatal Learjet crash near Palm Beach, Florida, which killed nine people including co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras. The $2 million private jet was flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when it encountered severe icing and turbulence at 37,000 feet, leading to structural failure before crashing into a trailer park. Investigators are examining whether ice accumulation contributed to the crash, which scattered debris over half a mile and left a crater partially filled with water.

Story summary

On November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 carrying nine people crashed near Cresthaven, Florida, approximately eight miles from Mar-a-Lago. The jet departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. The FAA confirmed that the plane went down around 12:50 p.m., with reports indicating a massive fireball upon impact. All nine people on board were killed, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Investigators later found crucial pieces of debris, including parts of the left elevator, nearly six kilometers from the crash site near Greenacres, suggesting that the plane began breaking apart before hitting the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the cause of the accident.
