A chartered $2 million jet crashed into a Florida mobile home park, triggering a massive fireball and causing multiple fatalities.
Multiple people are dead after a Learjet 60 business jet nosedived into a mobile home park in Palm Beach County, Florida, demolishing at least one home and leaving a massive crater in the road.
The aircraft, a chartered jet valued at approximately $2 million, crashed shortly after 1 PM ET (6 PM UTC) today in Greenacres, a community just outside Palm Springs, Florida, roughly nine miles from Mar-a-Lago.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue declared the incident a mass casualty event. Military Trail has been closed in both directions between Cresthaven Boulevard and 10th Avenue North. The agency described the response as an 'extended incident' and urged people to avoid the area.
