Near Trump’s Florida Residence, a Tiny Plane Tragedy Claimed Nine Lives
Unverified clips circulating on social media of the horrific crash showed an aeroplane almost vertical smashing into the ground at high speed to create a big explosion and blazing crater near a busy roadway.
Today’s jet crash in Palm Beach County, Florida is a horrible tragedy’, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said in a statement confirming all nine passengers on board the plane were deceased. The plane, a Learjet 60, left Austin, Texas, and was bound for the Bahamas, Duffy said.
The crash happened near Cresthaven, a neighbourhood in Palm Beach County that is fewer than seven miles (11 kilometres) from Trump’s resort residence, Mar-a-Lago. “Obviously, this is a cataclysmic plane crash,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told reporters near the scene.
First responders work after a Learjet 60 thought to be carrying nine people crashed in a residential neighbourhood in Palm Beach County, Florida, US, on November 1, 2026. REUTERS “It looked like a missile falling down,” he said, adding that there were no reports of anyone on the ground getting hurt.
Trump was at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday but departed the neighbouring, freshly renamed President Donald J. Trump International Airport shortly after boarding Air Force One at 11:55 am (1655 GMT), just an hour before the Learjet plane went down.
The jet went down at the entrance to a mobile home park, with roughly 600 occupants evacuated and sent to shelters, Palm Beach County Commissioner Joel Flores said.In a statement, the Federal Aviation Administration said “the FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate” the disaster.
