OT: Small plane( Lear 55) crashes onto street in Philly

This video needs some sort of warning. That’s incredibly disturbing to watch.
Good on you. I wasn’t actually thinking about you….it should’ve been done by whoever tweeted it.
Anyone who says it was a comet has absolutely no idea what they're talking about. Even if it was a small comet, the entire city would be destroyed. Not to mention, we can see comets with a naked eye over 100 million miles away, but somehow we all missed this one?
My daughter drove past that location about 15 minutes prior to the crash
Thanks. All good. She was supposed to come here tonight but decided to wait till better weather in the morning.
Way too many up tight fellas on here
You all sound like me watching and posting about the Mets in June

Apparently a young girl after receiving treatment was in the plane
They were flying the patient to Springfield. Jet Rescue is based out of Mexico, more likely that's the home airfield.
My wife works at the hospital closest to there. They were issued a code white, which means staff has to stay even if their shift is over and any patients who can be discharged must be to make room for incoming injured.
Poor Sean Duffy.
The guy has been on the job for 1 week and has had to preside over 2 terrible airplane tragedies!
RIP to all who have passed in both tragedies !

They are showing the crater where the plane crashed on 6ABC. It hit a very wide side walk/parking lot exit outside the Roosevelt Mall. Obviously, from all the videos, it was nearly coming straight down. There is hardly any visible debris at the crater as the plane exploded and the debris field is blocks long.

Horrible tragedy for a humanitarian medical flight to end like this. Really rough week. Thankfully no one on the ground was hurt.
Reminds me of 9/11 when they set up the Summit train station as a triage unit for the hospital anticipating mass casualties coming in on the trains, but unfortunately their were no patients
Hopefully that's true but what about the person walking out of the flames on fire? I haven't heard anything about them. I don't think there's any way that can be someone that was on the plane.
Yeah, you hope no one on the ground was killed or seriously injured but with an explosion like that in the middle of a city and the video, the chances are very slim.
Sure
I know where that is
I’m up in that area quite a bit as my daughter goes to LaSalle and we meet up in Manayunk quite a bit
Many years ago used to work on Presidential Blvd in Bala
I don’t understand the whole “what happened” mystery.
The jet had a catastrophic failure due to whatever the NTSB comes up with.
Its flight path is 100 percent complete loss of control of the aircraft.
We know what happened, we won’t know what caused it for quite some time.

I used to do tons of HCP market research in Bala Cynwyd at a facility off Monument Road. Always liked the area.
My daughter was in Fairmont, then Brewerytown for the longest time, back to Fairmont, and now Fishtown.
Exactly. The plane flew almost straight into the ground. What needs to be determined is whether it was mechanical error, pilot error or intentional.
There were some deleted posts in this thread that were going far afield in their speculation.
Or a catastrophic onboard explosion, which I guess we consider mechanical but not aircraft related
