US: Nine killed in Florida jet crash
What the coverage says
All nine people aboard a business jet died when the aircraft plunged into a Palm Beach County residential neighborhood on Sunday, creating a large crater and erupting in a fireball near homes and a busy road. While initial reporting from The Guardian left it unclear if anyone on the ground had been hurt, Al Jazeera later reported that Florida Governor Ron DeSantis stated there appeared to be no ground casualties. France 24 noted that the pilot had reported severe turbulence, precipitation, and icing before the crash, and the BBC added that Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called the incident a "horrific tragedy" near President Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort. The private Learjet 60 had been traveling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas at the time of the disaster.
