Nine Dead in Learjet Crash Near Trump’s Florida Resort

Palm Beach:A devastating plane crash occurred near US President Donald Trump's resort home in southern Florida on Sunday, resulting in the deaths of all nine individuals on board. The incident involved a Learjet that crashed into a neighborhood in Palm Beach County.

According to National news agency - Lebanon, social media was flooded with unverified videos of the crash, showing the aircraft descending nearly vertically at high speed, causing a massive fireball and leaving a fiery crater close to a busy roadside.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy confirmed in a statement that all nine passengers on the Learjet 60 perished in the crash. He noted that the aircraft had taken off from Austin, Texas, and was en route to the Bahamas.

The crash site was located near Cresthaven, a neighborhood approximately seven miles from Mar-a-Lago, Trump's resort home. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the incident as "cataclysmic," likening the jet's descent to that of a missile. Fortunately, there were no reports of injuries to individuals on the ground.
