Charged quote Business jet crash in Palm Beach County kills nine

As flames and thick black smoke engulf the crash site, a huge crater is all that's left. Passes by a maze that the plane missed nearby homes and numerous cars. Obviously, this was a cataclysmic plane crash. It looked like a missile going down. It left a big crater on the side of the road. I want to commend the Palm Beach County Sheriff's Department as well as the fire rescue.
