Law enforcement respond to a plane crash in Palm Beach County, Fla., on Sunday, Nov. 1, 2026.

Audio from air traffic control reveal the horrifying final moments of a private jet that crashed near a South Florida mobile home park on Sunday afternoon (Nov. 1), leaving all nine occupants dead. "Holy f**k we’re out of time," a female crew member was heard screaming to an air traffic controller in the moments before the plane nosedived into the ground around 1 pm.

'Mayday, mayday'


As per air traffic control audio, the pilot was heard saying: "We’re descending 8,000 — mayday, mayday — we’re descending 10,000 feet per minute. We are in an overspeed condition, descending 20,000 feet per minute."


"We’re going to crash into the ground," the pilot added as she let out a chilling scream.

Plane was heading to the Bahamas


The private jet, estimated to be worth $2 million, was heading from Austin, Texas, to the North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas when it fell into the Greenacres mobile home community.

Videos that have surfaced online show the plane nosediving into the ground, causing a large fireball that left behind a crater in the road.

The crash was such that it "looked like a missile going down," Florida Governor Ron DeSantis said. The crash occurred less than 10 miles from President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach County.

The site of the crash is four miles south of an airport in West Palm Beach, where Trump had departed roughly an hour before the tragic crash, CNN reported.

Greenacres is a community known for modular and mobile homes just outside Palm Springs, Florida.

The Learjet 60 plane was registered to a private business, LR60271 LLC, in Wilmington, Delaware. Officials have not yet identified the people who died in the crash. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), along with the NTSB, will investigate the incident.

The crash is the second deadliest in the US this year, according to records from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). It follows a skydiving plane crash in Butler, Missouri, in June, which killed 12 people.
