Jet from Texas carrying 9 people crashes near homes in Palm Beach, Florida, FAA says
On Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 carrying nine people crashed in a residential area of Palm Beach County, Florida, erupting into a massive fireball.
The Bahamas-bound jet departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport, the Federal Aviation Administration said.
First responders, including Greenacres Fire Rescue, were dispatched near Cresthaven, Military Trail, and 10th Avenue North, while The Palm Beach County Sheriff closed all lanes in the area.
Video of the crash showed the aircraft nose-diving from the sky before erupting into flames, as authorities continue updating details from the developing scene.
The Learjet 60 crashed in Palm Beach County. Minister of Transport Sean Duffy spoke of "a fearful tragedy." Whether there are more victims on the ground is still unclear.
A private plane crashed on Sunday in the midday hours (local time) over a residential area in Cresthaves in the U.S. state. All nine inmates were killed in the disaster.
