On November 1, 2026, a Learjet 60 private jet crashed in a residential area near Greenacres in Palm Beach County, Florida, killing all nine people on board: seven passengers and two pilots. The plane had left Austin, Texas, bound for the Bahamas. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating and has not yet determined a cause. Investigators say the crew reported icing, turbulence and precipitation before a rapid descent, and there is evidence the aircraft began to break apart before impact.
