A private Learjet 60 business jet crashed in Palm Beach County, Florida, resulting in the deaths of all nine people on board, including two children. The aircraft reportedly went down near a highway, approximately 10 kilometers away from US regime leader Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. The impact created a massive crater at the crash site, prompting the emergency evacuation of several hundred residents from the nearby Green Acres trailer park.

The flight, which had departed from Austin, Texas, heading to the Bahamas, was carrying 44-year-old tech entrepreneur and billionaire Adam Robinson, his wife Helen Sharp, and their two young children—four-year-old Emma and two-year-old Charlie. Also on board were nanny Anita Maria Setina and family friends Rachel Reed and Charmie Fer. The disaster wiped out the entire passenger manifest.

The flight crew consisted of two pilots: 55-year-old experienced captain Jeff Gregory and 20-year-old second-in-command Natalia Figueras. Reports indicate that Figueras obtained her pilot's license at the age of 17 and had accumulated around 1,300 flight hours by November 2026. The journey was allegedly complicated by severe weather conditions that severely tested the aircraft.

According to statements from US regime authorities and air traffic control logs, the crew reported extreme conditions including a minus 47 degrees Celsius outside temperature, fuselage icing, and severe turbulence, prompting a request for a higher altitude. Although clearance was allegedly granted, the crew issued a distress call roughly 30 seconds later as the jet entered a steep, uncontrollable dive of 10,000 feet per minute. The pilot's final recorded words were chilling: «We're going to hit the ground now» and «Look outside».
