Two Jewish families from Flatbush’s Syrian community survived a horrifying private jet crash in Mexico on Thursday—emerging with nothing more than scratches as flames and smoke consumed their $10 million aircraft. The Gulfstream V jet had just arrived from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey, carrying the families to Cabo San Lucas for Pesach, when it veered violently off the runway during landing Thursday afternoon. Shocking footage now circulating on social media shows the aircraft skidding across the tarmac before careening off the paved surface and coming to a jarring halt near the edge of the airfield, smoke billowing from the wreckage. “We are alive,” one passenger can be heard saying emotionally in a video filmed just moments after the crash. “Thank you Hakadosh Baruch Hu. Thank you for saving us and my children—it is absolutely a miracle that we are alive.” The jet, capable of carrying up to 16 passengers and typically used for luxury executive travel, had taken off just two hours earlier. Upon the landing in Cabo, the sleek aircraft was split in parts—its fuselage torn, with one section landing nearly some 150 feet from the cockpit. Inside, the scene was one of sheer chaos. Bags had been flung from overhead compartments, dishes and cutlery lay shattered across the cabin floor. But against all odds, every passenger—including young children—escaped unharmed. The cause of the crash has not yet been confirmed by Mexican aviation authorities, though initial reports suggest the aircraft may have experienced a fault upon landing. Emergency services responded to the scene, with paramedics and airport brigades treating several people at the scene, though none were transported to hospitals. The crash marked the second aviation disaster in under 24 hours. Just one hour earlier, a helicopter carrying a Siemens executive, his wife, and their three children plunged into New York’s Hudson River. All six on board perished in that tragic incident.
