A Helicopter Flight Simultaneously Colliding with an Aircraft in Philadelphia, Md., Two Days After the Deadliest Aviation Disaster in 25 Years

The crash happened less than 3 miles from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which primarily serves business jets and charter flights. There are photos of residential homes on fire.

The crash came two days after the country’s deadliest aviation disaster in 25 years. An American Airlines jet with 60 passengers and four crew members crashed into an Army helicopter in D.C. on Wednesday night. There were no survivors of that crash.

The plane in Philadelphia appeared to be a Learjet 55 that quickly disappeared from radar after takeoff. The flight was registered to a firm called Med Jets and was en route to Springfield, Missouri.

An air ambulance for a plane that crashed in the city of Rhawnhurst: Michael Schiavone, whose boyfriend was killed in an airplane crash

On Friday, Michael Schiavone was sitting in his Mayfair home when he heard a loud bang. He said it felt like a mini earthquake, and when he checked his home security camera footage, he said, it looked like a missile was coming down. “There was a large explosion, so I thought we were under attack for a second,” he said.

The jet was in the air for about 30 seconds before disappearing from radar at an altitude of 1,600 feet.

The plane crashed in a busy intersection near Roosevelt Mall, an outdoor shopping center where first responders were blocking traffic and onlookers crowded onto a street corner in the residential neighborhood of Rhawnhurst. Philadelphia’s emergency management office said that roads are closed in the area.

The doorbell camera footage caught a white streak of light diving down from the sky, followed by a fireball, and the guy looked at it. The blast shook the houses in the residential neighborhood and it was packed with traffic that was diverted from the crash site.

The plane’s owner, Jet Rescue, provides global air ambulance services. The company, which is located in Mexico, flew the baseball hall of famer to Boston after he was shot in the Dominican Republic and was involved in transporting critically ill patients.

The National Transportation Safety Board will lead the investigation. There was a crash in the air and the NTSB is gathering information about it.

One person was killed in the crash and the Mayor of Philadelphia confirmed it at a Saturday press conference. There was a person inside the car. There was at least 19 people injured, but she did not say how many were in critical condition.

At the conference, he said it was a very active and fluid situation. It’s going to take days or weeks until we can finally answer the question of how many people perished in this tragedy, and how many people were injured.

Eyewitnesses said they saw a mushroom cloud in the sky. There were videos and photos that showed a large area in Philadelphia in fire and covered in debris. Five fires erupted following the crash and have since been extinguished, Philadelphia Fire Commissioner Jeffrey Thompson said Saturday.

A Child whose Flight of an Air Ambulance Goes Down in El Paso de Tijuana, Mexico: An “Innocent Souls Lost”

“It’s possible that if you are somewhere not even near here, somewhere between this location and Northeast Airport, you may go out and find something in your yard,” he said.

The child patient at Shriners Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia had finished their treatment and was going back to her home country.

The six people were flying in a Learjet 55, operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, which specializes in air ambulances across Mexico, Latin America and the U.S.

Shai Gold, the spokesperson for Jet Rescue, told NPR that the company was contracted by a third-party charitable organization to bring the child home to Tijuana, Mexico.

A pilot, copilot, doctor and paramedic were among those on the plane. No names will be released until all the families have been notified, the company said.

I am sorry to see the plane go down in Philadelphia. More innocent souls lost. The people are engaged. First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to come. He wrote on Truth Social “God bless you all.”
