Florida authorities say all nine people aboard a small business jet were killed when it plunged into a neighborhood not far from Miami on Sunday.⁠

⁠

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis says the jet "looked like a missile going down" as it lost altitude: "Obviously, this was a cataclysmic plane crash. ... It left a big crater on the side of the road." The jet had departed Austin, Texas, and was headed for the Bahamas.  The National Transportation Safety Board will investigate.⁠
