    The white car was not hit, it was actually much further back than it appears in the video. In some of the aftermath pictures, you can see it survived. It was definitely damaged by the shockwave but not directly hit. No one on the ground was killed, as far as I know.

        Didn’t even take out the power lines. Also the copilot was from Palm Beach, there’s s news clip with her from 2023 at the high school like 2 miles from the crash site

      The fact that the plane went down vertically seems to have really minimized the damage. There’s one frame where the plane is just disappeared, flattened into that crater. The explosion happened from inside the crater and that would do a lot to protect the immediate surroundings.
