GREENACRES, FLORIDA, USA — Learjet Carrying 9 People Crashes Into Mobile Home Park, Multiple People Killed

A Learjet 60 business jet with 9 people on board crashed into a mobile home park in a neighborhood near Greenacres, in Palm Beach County, Florida, at about 12:50 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said. The jet had taken off from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was flying to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas. It clipped a tree and brought down power lines, then crashed into a mobile home and burst into a huge fireball. Palm Beach County Fire Rescue called it a mass casualty incident and reported multiple deaths. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the federal agency that investigates crashes, will lead the investigation.

  1. NEW BREAKING

    Update #10 — Sheriff's office formally identifies all nine people killed

    The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has now formally identified all nine people killed in the November 1 Learjet 60 crash, confirming the names the families released earlier in the week. They are: the pilot, Jeffrey Gregory, 55; the co-pilot, Nathalia Filgueiras, 20; and the seven passengers — Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, their children Emma, 4, and Charles, 2, the children's nanny Ana Maria Ramirez Cetina, and family friends Rowan Charmi Fehr Toews and Rachel Reed. The sheriff's office said the identifications were confirmed with the county Medical Examiner's Office and the FBI, that all next of kin have been notified, and that forensic analysis has found no other victims. Recovery work at the crash site continues. The NTSB has issued no preliminary report and no cause has been determined; a preliminary report is expected in about a month. We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.

  2. BREAKING

    Update #9 — NTSB: Learjet's left elevator found in three pieces miles from crash site

    At its second briefing on Tuesday, November 3, the NTSB said most of the crashed Learjet's left elevator — the tail surface that controls pitch — was recovered in three pieces, 1.3 to 3.8 miles from the crash site in Greenacres, well outside the debris field of about half a mile. The pieces were found on Monday. NTSB member Tom Chapman called knowing the elevator was lost "a very important piece of evidence in terms of pointing us towards other things to investigate." Investigators have not established whether the separation caused the loss of control or resulted from forces during the descent, and no cause has been given. A preliminary report is expected in about a month. Officials still have not formally released the nine names. (Sources: Associated Press reporting on the November 3 NTSB briefing.) We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.

  3. BREAKING

    Update #8 — Families name the seven passengers and the captain

    The families of the nine people killed in Sunday's Learjet crash in Greenacres released a joint statement on Monday, November 2, naming the seven passengers: Adam Robinson, 45, his wife Helen Sharp, 40, their two young children Emma and Charlie, the children's nanny Anita Maria Cetina, and friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr. Family members also named the captain as Jeff Gregory, 55; the co-pilot, Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, was named by her family earlier. Authorities have not formally released the names of anyone on board, and the NTSB investigation into the cause is continuing. (Sources: families' joint statement reported by NewsNation, CBS News and the Palm Beach Post, November 2.) We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.

  4. BREAKING

    Update #7 — NTSB: Jet Began Breaking Up Before Impact; Co-Pilot Named

    The National Transportation Safety Board gave its first briefing on the crash on Monday, November 2. NTSB Member Tom Chapman said investigators have evidence the Learjet began breaking up before it hit the ground: "We do have evidence that there was some breakup of the aircraft before impact." Investigators did not say which parts came off or why. Investigator-in-charge Tim Monville said a man driving away from the area next to the crash site suffered a leg injury — the first injury on the ground reported, after officials initially said nobody on the ground was hurt. The NTSB also confirmed the flight carried two crew members and seven passengers, and said records show the plane had a cockpit voice recorder at some point, but investigators do not yet know whether one was still on board. No cause has been named. The co-pilot has been identified by her family as Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, of the Boca Raton area, who earned her pilot's licence at 17; her family confirmed her identity to CBS12. The captain and the seven passengers have not been officially named. We are following this case and will update it again as soon as new information comes.

    Update #6 — Nearby High School Closed Monday

    John I. Leonard High School, about half a mile from the crash site, will be closed on Monday while emergency crews and investigators keep working nearby, the Palm Beach County school district said Sunday night. About 2,800 students go there. All other county schools open Monday, but buses may run late because of heavy rain. All district schools are closed Tuesday for Election Day. No reopening date has been given for the high school. County officials said they hope to have a detour route around the closed part of Military Trail ready by Monday.

    BREAKING

    Update #5 — Pilot Reported Ice and Bumpy Air, Then Called Mayday Before the Dive

    Minutes before the crash, the pilot told air traffic controllers there was a light layer of ice on the jet and moderate turbulence (bumpy air), according to radio recordings posted by LiveATC.net. After rain started and the crew asked to fly higher, the pilot called "mayday" and said the jet was falling 10,000 feet a minute, then 20,000 feet a minute, and was going too fast. The pilot then said, "We're going to crash into the ground." Florida Governor Ron DeSantis told reporters no one on the ground was hurt. The cause has not been found yet.

    Update #4 — Federal Crash Team Arriving; News Briefing Set for Monday

    Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board, the federal agency that looks into crashes, are arriving at the site tonight and Monday morning. The agency will hold a news briefing in West Palm Beach on Monday; the time is not set yet. The nine people killed have still not been named. Displaced neighbors can go to the Greenacres Community Center at 501 Swain Blvd., where the Red Cross is helping. The county hopes to have a way around the Military Trail closure by Monday.

    BREAKING

    Update #3 — About 600 Neighbors to Be Moved Out; Road Closure Made Longer

    About 600 people who live in the nearby mobile home community will have to leave their homes for now, because the crash site is being treated as an active investigation scene, Palm Beach County officials said. Two shelters are ready for them, and county buses (Palm Tran) will take residents there once police allow it. Military Trail is now closed from 10th Avenue North to Purdy Lane/Alameda Drive until further notice, and only emergency vehicles can go in. Drivers should use 10th Avenue North or Purdy Lane/Alameda Drive to go east or west, and Haverhill Road or Kirk Road to go north or south. County officials warned that parts of the road could stay closed for a long time because of the large crater the jet left. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis visited the scene and called the crash "cataclysmic."

    BREAKING

    Update #2 — All 9 People on the Jet Were Killed

    All nine people on board the jet were killed, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said. As of 4 p.m. Eastern time, officials had not confirmed any deaths among people on the ground. The people on the plane have not been named. Records show the jet belonged to a company called LR60271 LLC, based in Wilmington, Delaware. Some power outages were reported nearby after the crash.

  10. BREAKING

    Update #1 — Death Toll Not Yet Released, Road Closed

    Officials have not yet said how many people died or whether anyone on the ground was hurt or killed. No victims have been named. Military Trail is closed to all traffic between Cresthaven Boulevard and 10th Avenue North, and fire rescue says this will be a long response, so drivers should avoid the area.
