At least nine people are dead after a $2 million private jet crashed into a South Florida mobile home park — apparently demolishing at least one trailer in a massive fireball.

Nine people were on board the Learjet 60 en route from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it crashed into a massive fireball, the FAA said.

The plane, which had departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas, took a sharp right turn before nosediving from 8,000 feet into the ground.

‘Sounded like a missile’

Because at that point, it was a missile.

google ai had this to say:

On November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 bound from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people on board. Minutes before the tragedy, the flight crew reported experiencing severe weather conditions, including moderate turbulence and manageable ice accumulation while cruising at 35,000 feet. Shortly after requesting a climb to clear the weather, the aircraft entered a cataclysmic, spiraling vertical nosedive exceeding descent rates of 20,000 to 30,000 feet per minute. The NTSB and FAA have launched a full active investigation into the structural, mechanical, or environmental factors that triggered the loss of control.

Look at the tail section. The horizontal rudder is gone.

From a news report yesterday...

The pilot was female, and started screaming: "We are going to crash. We are going to crash."

I have no idea if that is true, but it would have made me laugh if I was a passenger on the way down.
