Nine individuals perished in a Learjet crash that occurred near Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida on November 2, 2026, according to officials. The plane, a Learjet 60, had departed from Austin, Texas, and was en route to the Bahamas when it plummeted into a neighborhood in southern Florida, just miles from the president's resort.
Eyewitness footage circulating on social media depicts the aircraft in a nearly vertical position, slamming into the ground at high speed, followed by an intense fireball and a massive crater near a busy roadside. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed his condolences, confirming that all nine people on board were killed.
The plane had been scheduled to fly from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas. The crash site is located near Cresthaven, a neighborhood in Palm Beach County, Florida, approximately seven miles from Mar-a-Lago. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board have stated they will investigate the incident.
