Story summary

A Learjet 60 carrying nine people crashed near homes in Palm Beach County, Florida, around 12:50 p.m. local time on Sunday, November 1, 2026, erupting into a massive fireball just miles from Mar-a-Lago and eight miles from Greenacres. The jet had departed from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas bound for the Bahamas. All nine people aboard were killed in the crash. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating and officials suggest there may have been "some breakup" of the aircraft before it crashed, with debris spanning a significant distance.

The victims include tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson and his family members along with their nanny and two close friends. The crash displaced approximately 600 people from their homes in the area.
