What the coverage shows

All three outlets lead on the crash and the nine deaths, and all identify the aircraft as a Learjet. France 24 is the only one to add that it went down in a South Florida neighbourhood, near homes and a busy road, and to mention reported weather problems before the dive. Al Jazeera instead frames it as a flight from Austin to the Bahamas that crashed in Greenacres near West Palm Beach, while CNN places it in Palm Beach County and says it erupted in flames.
