Nine dead in small plane crash near Trump’s Florida home
Several unverified social media clips show an aircraft slamming into the ground at high speed in an almost vertical position, leaving a flaming crater near a busy roadside.
A small plane crashed in a Florida neighborhood near President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, resulting in the deaths of nine people, officials confirmed. The Learjet 60, which departed from Austin, Texas, was on its way to the Bahamas when it plummeted into a residential area near Cresthaven, a community just 11 kilometers from Mar-a-Lago.
Several unverified social media videos showed the aircraft crashing vertically into the ground, igniting a large fireball and leaving a flaming crater. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed his condolences, stating that all nine individuals on board were killed. The plane had arrived at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, and Trump had departed for Air Force One shortly after boarding the presidential jet at 11:55 am.
Storms were reported in the area, and Trump was seen carrying an umbrella during his departure. The Federal Aviation Administration and National Transportation Safety Board are conducting an investigation into the crash.
