One article quotes the FAA.

Federal Aviation Administration spokesman Lynn Lunsford said the plane went down shortly after taking off. The G650's landing gear collapsed, Lunsford said, and the plane burst into flames.

Hopefully he sought Ned's blessing first.  Ostrower has a tendency to shoot first and not ask questions.
"I'm sorry sir, you can't take photos of that aircraft."

"If you've seen my work, you'd know I really can't take photos of any aircraft."
