New dashcam video from a wet suburban road in Greenacres, Florida, shows the horrifying moment a Learjet 60 dropped almost straight down from the sky and exploded into a huge fireball, sending thick black smoke over the neighborhood. The jet, registered N722BD, had left Austin, Texas, on November 1, 2026, headed for the Bahamas with nine people on board. Flight tracking data recorded a sudden, steep descent of more than 30,000 feet per minute from cruising altitude, and preliminary information suggests the aircraft fell from about 35,000 feet in little more than a minute. All nine people aboard were killed in the crash near Military Trail.

Before the plunge, the crew reported icing and turbulence, and a later mayday call mentioned an overspeed condition. The NTSB is investigating the loss of control and has not announced a cause, so what actually went wrong at altitude is still an open question. The jet came down in a residential area, yet no injuries on the ground have been reported, which many will see as a stroke of luck given how densely populated the area is. Hundreds of residents were reported displaced in the aftermath, and investigators are expected to piece together the final minutes from flight data, radio recordings, and wreckage.
