Nevin Al Sukari - Sana'a - MIAMI, Feb 10 — Two people were killed yesterday when a private jet lost its engines and crashed onto a highway in Florida, authorities said.
Five people were aboard the Bombardier Challenger 600 when it went down about 3:15pm (2015 GMT) on Interstate 75 near the small city of Naples, the Federal Aviation Administration said on X, formerly Twitter.
Two minutes before the plane was scheduled to land at Naples Municipal Airport, the pilot radioed air traffic control to say “he had lost both engines and requested an emergency landing,” airport spokesperson Robin King told AFP in a statement.
“The air traffic controller immediately cleared the aircraft to land when the pilot declared that he would not make it to the runway ... (and) attempted a landing on I-75.”
