  "account": "Nine individuals lost their lives in a small plane crash that occurred near the Florida residence of President Donald Trump, situated just miles away from his Mar-a-Lago resort, according to officials. The incident transpired on Sunday, when a Learjet 60 reportedly plunged into a community in southern Florida, near Cresthaven, as captured by a series of unverified videos circulating on social media. The distressing footage depicted the aircraft plummeting vertically at high speed, resulting in a massive fireball and an expansive crater near a major road.\n\nTransportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed his sorrow over the tragedy, officially confirming that all nine individuals on board perished. The Learjet had taken off from Austin, Texas, with the intended destination being the Bahamas. The crash site was located approximately 11 kilometers from Mar-a-Lago, as well as from the newly christened President Donald J Trump International Airport, where Trump had departed earlier on Sunday.\n\nReports indicated that storms had been prevalent in the region, and President Trump had carried an umbrella as he boarded Air Force One at 11:55 am, roughly an hour prior to the Learjet crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have pledged to investigate the incident.",
