AGAIN: Another Jet in America Crashes with 6 Passengers

Tragedy struck in Northeast Philadelphia on Friday night as a small medical plane crashed near a shopping center, claiming the lives of all six people on board, New York Times confirmed  this.

The plane, a Learjet 55 operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, was carrying four crew members, one pediatric patient, and one escort when it went down, sending a massive fireball into the air and engulfing nearby vehicles and homes in flames.

 

According to Shai Gold, a spokesman for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, “We have no information that there were any survivors… By the intensity of the flames and the debris field, we are doubtful that there are any survivors.”

 

The company, which specializes in critical care patients and conducts over 600 flights annually, has withheld the names of the victims until their families are notified.

 

This devastating crash marks another alarming incident in America’s aviation sector, raising concerns about air safety and the need for rigorous investigations into such tragedies.

He added that the company, which conducts between 600 and 700 flights a year and specializes in critical care patients, was not releasing any names until family members were notified and described the plane, a Learjet 55, as an “excellent plane.”

The plane was transporting a young female patient from Philadelphia, where her care had been completed, to her home in Mexico, Mr. Gold said.

The plane had a planned stop in Missouri for fuel before its final destination, Tijuana International Airport, he said.

The patient’s condition and where she had received her care were not released. It was unclear if there were any casualties on the ground.

Cherelle Parker, the mayor of Philadelphia, did not provide any information about the number of fatalities but said at a news conference about 8:30 p.m. that “several dwellings and vehicles were impacted.”

A post on X from the U.S. transportation secretary, Sean Duffy, at 7:49 p.m. said that six people were reportedly on board.

The F.A.A. updated its statement at 8:40 p.m. to say that six people were on board. The F.A.A. and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating. Four members of both agencies were on their way to the scene on Friday night, officials said.

President Trump, in a post on Truth Social on Friday night, said: “So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged. First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job.”
