In a bizarre incident, former President Donald Trump’s private jet was involved in a collision at Palm Beach International Airport, leaving many wondering how such a mishap could occur.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reported that Trump’s Boeing 757, registered as N757AF, struck a parked VistaJet aircraft early Sunday morning, causing unknown damage.
The FAA stated that the Trump jet had landed safely at the airport around 1:20 a.m. EDT before the collision occurred while taxiing.
The incident took place in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft, and an investigation is currently underway. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but it remains unclear if Trump was on board at the time of the incident.
Trump’s jet, dubbed “one of the most famous private jets in the world” by the Trump Organization, has been a symbol of luxury and power. However, this incident raises questions about the safety protocols in place at the airport and the measures taken to prevent such collisions.
As Trump faces legal battles in New York City over hush-money payments and election interference, this incident adds another layer of controversy to his already tumultuous presidency.
Despite maintaining a residence at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Trump’s presence at the airport that night remains a mystery. The FAA’s investigation will hopefully shed light on the circumstances surrounding this unusual incident.
