Wednesday’s helicopter crash comes just three days after a devastating Learjet disaster in Palm Beach County claimed nine lives.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, a private Learjet 60 plunged into a residential area in Greenacres, Florida, on Sunday, November 1, exploding into a massive fireball and leaving a crater near a mobile home community.
The aircraft had departed Austin, Texas, and was traveling toward the Bahamas when it experienced a catastrophic descent.
Federal investigators are examining the Learjet disaster, including reports of icing, turbulence, and a possible in-flight breakup.
