Florida, US Nov 02: At least nine people were killed after a private jet carrying nine occupants crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday afternoon, November 1.
The Learjet 60 plunged into a residential neighbourhood and erupted into a massive fireball upon impact, scattering debris across the crash site.
The incident also created a large crater near a busy roadway, while thick smoke and flames engulfed the area.
According to officials, the aircraft had taken off from Austin, Texas, and was heading towards the Bahamas when it crashed near Lake Worth Beach.
US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed that all nine people aboard the aircraft had died. There were no immediate reports of casualties among people on the ground.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation to determine the cause of the crash.
