- On Sunday, November 1, a Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people aboard; online rumors incorrectly claimed musician Lenny Kravitz was among the passengers who died.
- Representatives for the 62-year-old musician confirmed he was not on the flight after confusion stemmed from a deleted social media post by pilot Emily Shelton, who claimed she was "honored" to fly Kravitz from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas.

- Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration are examining the crash; Learjet manufacturer Bombardier stated it would "fully support the investigating authorities" and "cooperate as needed" regarding the accident's cause.
