Small Plane Crash in Philadelphia

Another air disaster, this time in northeast Philadelphia where a small plane has crashed into a neighborhood and set homes, businesses and cars on fire. This just happened in the last hour as I write this so there are very few stories up with details. Here’s what we do know.

A plane reportedly crashed on a street near Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Friday night, igniting nearby cars and homes in flames.

The crash happened at about 6:30 p.m. after a plane carrying two people took off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

There are multiple videos of the crash happening. The plane seems to be on fire and nosedives into the ground.

This appears to be a fireball from the moment the crash happened.

Another angle and be warned the commentary here is probably going to be jarring.

A local Fox affiliate reporter was near the scene of the crash and started filming as first responders were trying to seal off the area.

The same reporter is hearing that this was a medical flight with six people on the plane:

Another clip from people on the ground trying to figure out what is happening. The guy filming says “It came out the sky.”

FIrefighters are trying to put out the homes that are on fire.

I’m seeing confirmation that the downed plane was a Learjet air ambulance.

The Federal Aviation Administration said two people were aboard the plane, which was a Learjet 55. The plane, a small, business-type jet, was en route to Springfield, Missouri.

The plane appeared to be a medical transport jet. The plane that took off and quickly disappeared from radar was registered to a company operating as Med Jets.

This is confirmed by pieces of the jet on the street.

I’ve been watching local news reports from Philly and they don’t seem to know any more than that at the moment. I’m going to take a break for dinner and I’ll come back later and update this. At some point tonight I expect local authorities will hold a press conference and maybe we’ll learn more about what happened here.
