Nine people died on Sunday when a private jet nose-dived and crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida. The New York Post reported that video showed a fiery crater left in a street after the aircraft fell about 27,000 feet within a minute. [1]
The Learjet was traveling from Texas to the Bahamas when it plunged into the ground like a missile, according to the New York Post. The outlet noted that the pilot's final communication could provide clues regarding what caused the crash. [1]
As FTMQ News reported earlier, the flight originally departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas. Representatives for musician Lenny Kravitz confirmed he was not aboard the aircraft, dismissing online rumors that had suggested otherwise. [5]
