A private jet departed the Mexican resort city of San Jose del Cabo on the evening of June 16 bound for Austin, Texas. Minutes later, a routine flight would turn into a fiery highway disaster that left one person dead and forced strangers armed with little more than sledgehammers and fire extinguishers to risk their own lives to save those trapped inside.
According to ABC, the jet was operated by NetJets, a company owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway that allows customers to purchase shares of private aircraft. Preliminary reports suggest the crash may have been caused by mechanical problems aboard the plane.
