A business jet carrying nine people crashed into a Florida residential neighborhood on Sunday, erupting into a massive fireball that transportation officials have described as a horrific tragedy.
The Learjet 60 went down in Palm Beach County, located approximately nine miles from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. Witnesses compared the impact to a missile descending from the sky.
Federal authorities are investigating the incident. At the time of initial reports, officials stated it remained unclear whether anyone on the ground sustained injuries, and no immediate details were available regarding potential survivors among the nine individuals onboard.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy addressed the incident, labeling the crash a horrific tragedy as emergency responders and federal investigators worked at the scene.
