Former President Donald Trump’s Boeing 757 hit a parked corporate jet at West Palm Beach International Airport. Luckily, no one got hurt, but the Federal Aviation Administration is looking into what happened. This incident adds to Trump’s legal troubles. He once famously said he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue without losing voters.
The jet Trump’s plane hit belongs to VistaJet, a big private jet company worth $2.6 billion. VistaJet has lots of planes and flies people wherever they want, charging by the hour. The FAA said Trump’s plane hit the back part of VistaJet’s plane, but they didn’t give many details about the damage. An FAA spokesperson told WFLA:
“A privately owned Boeing 757 landed safely at West Palm Beach International Airport around 1:20 a.m. local time on Sunday, May 12. While taxiing, its winglet contacted a parked and unoccupied corporate jet. The incident occurred in an area of the airport where the FAA does not direct aircraft.”
Trump’s Boeing 757 is often seen at West Palm Beach, which is close to his Mar-a-Lago resort. He bought the plane in 2011 for $100 million and made it very luxurious, covering everything in gold, even the seatbelt buckles. It’s not clear if Trump was on the plane during the accident. He’s been busy with his presidential campaign and dealing with legal issues in New York, where he’s accused of paying hush money to Stormy Daniels.
