  "account": "Adam Robinson, a tech entrepreneur and the founder/CEO of Retention.com and RB2B, was killed in a private jet crash near Greenacres, Florida on Sunday afternoon. Robinson, 45, along with his wife Helen Sharp, their two young children Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, and three others perished when the Learjet 60 crashed near a residential neighborhood and busy roadway. The aircraft was en route from Austin, Texas, to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas when it encountered light clear ice and moderate turbulence at 35,000 feet. Shortly after, the plane began rapidly descending and the pilot declared an emergency, ultimately declaring a mayday as it lost altitude. The NTSB is leading the investigation, which is expected to take several days.",
