World
A small medical airplane that crashed in Philadelphia was en route to Mexico. Onboard were four crew members, one patient, and the patient's mother, totaling six people, none of whom survived.
In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, a Learjet 55 aircraft crashed into a residential area, causing a fire. The aircraft was an air ambulance intended for transporting patients. According to CNN, there was a sick girl, her mother, two medical staff members, and two pilots aboard.
The plane was returning the patient, a girl, to Mexico after a critical treatment in the U.S. The airplane belonged to Mexico’s Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, and the passengers were also Mexican citizens. Representatives of Jet Rescue Air Ambulance reported that no one survived the crash.
The fire caused by the crash damaged several houses. At least six people sought medical help. The cause of the aviation accident is under investigation. One observer told CNN that the plane exploded mid-air, possibly due to the oxygen tanks on board.
This incident in Philadelphia was the second aviation accident in the U.S. within a week. On the evening of January 29, a collision occurred between an American Airlines passenger plane and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near Washington D.C.'s Ronald Reagan Airport, both crashing into the Potomac River. There were 64 people on the plane and three military personnel on the helicopter. No one survived the tragedy.
