All nine people died aboard a business jet that crashed into a Florida neighborhood, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said Sunday. The aircraft departed from Austin, Texas, and was headed to the Bahamas. Duffy said the Federal Aviation Administration is sending a team to support the National Transportation Safety Board''s investigation into the cause.

The Learjet 60 carrying nine people nose-dived into a South Florida neighborhood Sunday and erupted into a giant fireball that appeared to just miss homes before crashing near a busy roadway, creating a giant fiery crater in the pavement.
