Learjet 60 crash in Florida kills 9, including tech millionaire and his family
–
Neutral summary
The crash occurred around midday on November 1 when the Learjet 60, en route from Texas to the Bahamas, suddenly lost altitude and slammed into the ground near the town of Greenacres, clipping a tree and power lines. The impact demolished a mobile home and left a large crater, with a massive fireball visible. Firefighters and rescue crews arrived quickly, and Palm Beach County hospitals were put on alert. All nine occupants died: in addition to the Robinson family, the victims included a nanny, two friends of the couple, captain Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, a Brazilian citizen who had earned her pilot's license at 17 and had about 1,300 flight hours. Minutes before the crash, Nathalia texted her boyfriend about severe turbulence and icing; cockpit audio recordings capture her saying the jet was descending rapidly and reciting the Lord's Prayer. Investigators are focusing on icing and turbulence as possible causes. In May, Nathalia had been admonished by an air traffic controller for understating turbulence during a flight over New Jersey. A photo circulating online purporting to show the jet just before impact was debunked by Brazilian outlet G1 as AI-generated. The aircraft was valued at around $2 million.
