A private Learjet 60 bound for the Bahamas crashed in a residential area of Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday, killing all nine people on board. The aircraft, which originally departed from Austin, Texas, suffered a catastrophic high-speed descent after the pilot reported icing and turbulence, issuing a final mayday call that ended with, “We’re going to crash into the ground”. The jet narrowly missed homes but exploded upon impact, leaving a massive crater in the road and forcing the evacuation of approximately 600 residents from a nearby trailer park. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are actively investigating the wreckage, which one witness described as looking like a meteor strike.
