All nine people aboard a business jet died after the plane crashed into a residential area in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Sunday.

A video recorded by an eyewitness showed the plane diving from the sky and exploding into a massive fireball near a major highway, leaving a large crater in its wake.

Speaking at the crash site, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the incident as "cataclysmic." He said debris from the crash was scattered over a significant distance, but they had received no reports of people on the ground being injured.

Authorities are currently investigating the crash.
