A small jet crashed into a residential area near West Palm Beach, Florida on Sunday, killing all nine people on board. The Learjet 60 had left Austin, Texas and was flying to the Bahamas when it went down around 12:50 p.m. local time. The plane hit the ground in Greenacres, about seven miles from West Palm Beach, and caught fire on impact. Investigators found parts of the aircraft up to 3.8 miles from the main crash site, which shows the plane was already breaking apart in the air. Three pieces from the left elevator, a part that controls the aircraft's movement, were found at separate locations. The National Transportation Safety Board has sent a team, including a drone pilot and a structures expert, to examine the debris.
