Jet from Texas carrying 9 people crashes near homes in Palm Beach, Florida, FAA says
All nine people aboard died after the jet plunged into a residential area, and investigators are reviewing weather and cockpit distress calls.
- On Sunday, November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 carrying nine people crashed into a residential neighborhood in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing everyone on board. The business jet had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, bound for North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas.
- The flight crew reported "light, clear ice that is manageable and moderate turbulence" to air traffic control before requesting a climb. After controllers cleared the aircraft higher, the pilot declared an emergency as the jet entered a rapid, uncontrollable descent.
- Cockpit audio captured the pilot reporting a descent rate of 20,000 feet per minute as conditions deteriorated rapidly. "We're going to crash into the ground," the pilot radioed in a devastating final transmission before impact.
- Palm Beach County officials evacuated approximately 600 residents from the area while emergency crews closed Military Trail to all traffic. Governor Ron DeSantis visited the crash site and described the scene as "cataclysmic," noting the jet left a large crater.
- The National Transportation Safety Board is leading an investigation with Federal Aviation Administration support to determine the crash's cause. Investigators are reviewing weather radar, flight data, and cockpit recordings as officials have not yet established why the aircraft plummeted.
