Florida crash: Ron DeSantis compares private jet’s fall to “a missile” and describes a “crater”

A Learjet 60 flying from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas crashed in a residential area of Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday, November 1, killing all nine people aboard. Governor Ron DeSantis called the crash “cataclysmic,” compared the aircraft’s fall to a missile, and described a huge crater; no deaths or injuries on the ground were reported. Authorities assisted about 600 residents and offered temporary accommodation. The NTSB is investigating with FAA support; the victims’ identities and whether the flight was private or chartered have not been confirmed.
