Learjet crash in Palm Beach County kills nine
Private Jet crashed just miles from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The FAA has confirmed the aircraft was a Learjet 60, and all nine people aboard were killed. The crash comes days after heightened military security around Mar-a-Lago. The NTSB is investigating what caused the aircraft to go down.
Would be a convenient red flag event to claim it was a terrorist attack on Maralago.
This flight originated in Austin and listed Bahamas as final destination. That it crashed close to Palm Beach West indicates it had some kind of mid-flight problem. The Lear 60 would not require refueling. The pilot reported ice buildup on the wings just before the plane went into a steep descent.
It’s hard to imagine how fast and furious this type of missile coming out of the sky feels like. This is what Ukraine has been living through daily, for years.
That B&W photo is chilling. No wonder there's no plane left.
You think it’s sketch? Tragic no doubt but the TikTokers are speculating there was a bomb on board.
I’m not an expert but this doesn’t look like a plane crash. This was not a plane.

Thank you for the new info. Having seen that crash, and what looked like the windshield in an enlarged still, it breaks my heart knowing those pilots were probably still fighting for control until a split second before that jet hit the ground. RIP, to all aboard.
Have seen the video and heard the last few moments of the ATC call. Absolutely horrific, but the pilot remained professional to the end as did ATC
Given the location when it suddenly plunged I think the question has to be asked regarding the anti-air weapons battery on the barge outside Mar a Lago.
The aircraft was flying through or near enough to a storm. And the pilot radioed air traffic control saying that they were experiencing manageable icing and that she wanted to climb, presumably to get above the bad weather. A pretty usual thing for a pilot to do.
fuckin hell. worst audio I’ve ever listened to.
I have never ever seen the sex of a pilot referenced before, but one scroll on Twitter after the horrific Learjet crash and it's "female pilot crashes plane"
The gender of the pilot had nothing to do with that accident: the still frame photo just prior to impact shows the aircraft had lost a critical part of its tail assembly, rendering it impossible to control. Anyone attempting to make accident into anything other than a horrible tragedy - is twisted.
It’s also not clear she was the pilot. Usually the First Officer handles communications with ATC.
I remain personally haunted by the issue of Avengers that coined the word 'robotrix'.
fuck why did I listen to the tower radio of that Learjet crash fuck
the internet is full of ways where you can half-accidentally listen to someone die
genuinely one of the very worst i have heard. she will be in my thoughts. may her death and the death of everyone else on the aircraft not be in vain.
You okay? I listened to it for work, and like; that may be one of the worst things I’ve ever heard.
Originally I was like "Did the pilot just die on the yoke?", but when someone replied "No, we can tell from the audio" it kinda made it clear without seeking the recording out that it was FAR more horrifying.
I've been avoiding it for that reason. I heard the ATC of a Hawker 600 that crashed a while ago during a stall test and that still haunts me.
Someone sent me an al Jazeera video mating the audio with some video. Yeah I don't recommend it!
do not listen to the audio of that learjet crash
