After the aircraft had taken off from Freeport, Bahamas, the pilot raised the landing gear and shortly after that they had an indication of low hydraulic fluid. The pilot continued to a safe altitude and trouble shot the problem. They declared an emergency and diverted to West Palm Beach International Airport. Once on the ground, they used emergency braking. The aircraft struck the EMAS system at the end of runway 14 where it came to rest inside of the EMAS. Upon inspection, it was discovered that they lost hydraulic pressure and fluid when the nose steering flex hose cracked and leaked out all of the hydraulic fluid.
