Why Palm Beach for a crash?

Palm Beach County is a significant destination for private and corporate aviation, partly due to its affluent population and attractions like Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, which is nine miles from the crash site. This high volume of air traffic increases the statistical likelihood of an incident occurring in the area, despite general aviation's safety record.
