PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - Nine people aboard a Learjet 60 were killed Sunday afternoon after the plane crashed into the ground in Palm Beach County, Florida, according to Transportation Secretary Sean. Duffy.

The plane departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport in Texas and was on its way to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas, before it went down in Florida, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said. The NTSB said it is sending teams to Florida to investigate.

What we know about the victims

What we know:

The FAA said there were a total of nine crew members and passengers aboard the Learjet when it crashed – and that no one survived.

Officials have not elaborated on how many of the nine people were crew members or passengers nor has anyone been identified.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said during a Sunday press conference that he did not know whether anyone onboard the plane was from Florida.

"Obviously, this was a cataclysmic plane crash. It looked like a missile going down," he said. "It left a big crater on the side of the road."

FAA, NTSB investigating what happened before crash

What we don't know:

The National Transportation and Safety Board (NTSB) said it was sending a go team to Florida Sunday night and Monday to begin its investigation into what happened.

The NTSB said it expects to host a media briefing sometime on Monday.
