Internationally renowned preacher and business coach, Dr. Myles Munroe of
Bahamas Faith Ministries International and his wife Mrs. Ruth Ann Munroe, died
in a plane crash earlier today in the Bahamas.
The plane, a Lear LEA -1.05% 36
executive jet, reportedly struck a crane at the Grand Bahama Ship Yard,
exploding on impact and crashing into the ground near a junkyard area.
The Bahamas Ministry of Transport and
Aviation reported that the Lear 36 executive jet departed the Lynden Pindling
International Airport (LPIA) in Nassau, Bahamas at 4:07PM for the Grand Bahama
International Airport, a privately owned international airport in Freeport,
Bahamas with nine people on board.
The plane crashed while making an
approach for landing at Grand Bahama International Airport at 5.10pm, the
Ministry of Transport and Aviation said. The crash killed all nine people on
board the private jet. The identities of the other people on board have not yet
been confirmed.
The cause of the crash was not
immediately determined, though there had been heavy rain across the region. A
full investigation is expected to begin on Monday.
The crash occurred as people were
gathering in Grand Bahama for Dr. Munroe’s 2014 Global Leadership Forum which
starts tomorrow, November, 10. Former mayor of Atlanta and former U.S
Ambassador to the United Nations, Andrew Young scheduled to speak at the
popular leadership forum, released the following statement through his
foundation.
