en.malanginspirasi.com – All nine individuals aboard a business jet died on Sunday after the aircraft into a Florida neighborhood, according to the US Secretary of Transportation as quoted from BBC.
The incident occurred at approximately 12:50 EST (17:50 GMT) near Cresthaven, about nine miles from Mar-a-Lago, President Donald Trump’s Palm Beach County resort.
Photos from the location reveal a deep crater torn into a residential street, surrounded by lingering fires, fractured concrete, and scattered fragments of the Learjet 60.
According to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the aircraft was en route from Austin, Texas, toward the Bahamas when it went down.
Flight data and media reports suggest the jet descended rapidly at hundreds of feet per second prior to impact.
Unverified dash-cam video shared online captured the exact moment of the crash.

The clip shows traffic moving along a suburban road before the jet plunges almost straight down into the pavement, triggering a massive fireball upon impact.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis addressed the footage during a media briefing, remarking that “When you see that video, it’s a jarring thing,” and comparing the crash to “a missile coming down, and a massive explosion, debris going everywhere.”
Authorities have not yet released the identities of those on board.
However, DeSantis noted that “as of now, we don’t have any reports of anyone who was on the ground…who was killed or injured”.
Calling the event a “horrific tragedy,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that the FAA is deploying investigators to support the National Transportation Safety Board’s probe.
Duffy requested public support, stating, “Please join me in praying for the families and loved ones of those we lost.”
Local authorities declared a “mass casualty incident” along Military Trail, a busy six-lane commercial corridor.
Following the impact, emergency teams ordered the evacuation of around 600 residents from a nearby mobile home park due to extensive infrastructure damage, including ruptured water mains.
Officials estimate the road will remain closed for a minimum of 30 days.
Severe weather, including heavy rain and thunderstorms, was present in the area at the time of the crash.
President Trump had been at Mar-a-Lago earlier that morning and departed on Air Force One from a neighboring airport roughly an hour before the incident.
