A medevac jet with six individuals aboard, including a pediatric patient and her mother, crashed in a Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday evening, causing a significant explosion. The Learjet 55 was bringing the young girl back to Mexico after she was treated at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia. The plane had just departed from Northeast Philadelphia Airport and was headed to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri when it crashed around 6:30 PM.

The accident happened three miles away from the airport, close to the intersection of Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard. Domingo Colon and his wife were departing from their Northeast Philadelphia residence when they noticed the jet coming down. Colon’s Ring camera recorded the plane rapidly approaching from several blocks away before it vanished behind some nearby houses.

Shortly after, the plane erupted into a huge fireball, brightening the night sky. “The force of the impact and the resulting explosion were too intense for the Ring camera’s microphone to capture,” Colon explained. He and his wife hurried back indoors, dodging the perilous blast. Philadelphia driver Chris Andro was on Roosevelt Boulevard heading towards Cottman Avenue when he witnessed the sky illuminate from the crash. His dashcam recorded the event, and he reacted in disbelief. “Oh my God, is this being recorded?” Andro was reported saying while footage showed flames and smoke between the trees and buildings in the area. The jet was carrying six individuals, including a young girl, her mother, a doctor, a paramedic, and two pilots. Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that all six passengers were Mexican nationals. At least six people on the ground sustained injuries and were taken to the hospital. Of these, three have been released, while the remaining three are still receiving care at Temple University Hospital’s Jeanes Campus, as reported by NBC Philadelphia. Authorities are looking into the cause of the plane crash; however, initial accounts did not report any distress signals before the aircraft went down. This incident occurred just two days after a fatal midair collision between an American Airlines regional jet and a military Black Hawk helicopter near Reagan National Airport. American Airlines Flight 5342, which had 64 passengers on board, collided with the helicopter while it was approaching Runway 33 on Wednesday. It is feared that all passengers on the flight and the three soldiers in the helicopter may have died. The proximity of these two incidents has raised alarms regarding aviation safety and has led federal investigators to closely look into both crashes.
