  "account": "On Sunday, a Learjet 60 carrying nine individuals crashed into a neighborhood in southern Florida, plummeting from the sky before exploding in a blaze of black smoke. Everyone aboard perished, as confirmed by US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy. Witnesses captured the aircraft's descent on video from nearby cars before the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have launched an investigation into the incident, though the identities of the deceased remain undisclosed. The cause of the crash has yet to be determined. Aviation safety expert Steve Arroyo suggested that icing and turbulence could have played a role in the tragedy, potentially causing the jet to stall while cruising at 34,000 feet. He emphasized that investigators would explore various factors, including the pilot's response to the reported icing and turbulence. The NTSB maintains that no possibilities will be ruled out at this preliminary stage.",
  "summary": "The explosion sent flames and smoke into the air. Emergency crews were left to deal with burning wreckage and debris spread across the site.",
