Philadelphia Plane Crash Video captures aircraft explosion

The NTSB is reviewing the Philadelphia plane crash video as part of its ongoing crash investigation.

A Jet Rescue Air Ambulance Learjet 55 crashed in a tragic accident Friday evening in Philadelphia. The Philadelphia plane crash video captures the aircraft that went down shortly after takeoff from Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The unfortunate crash killed all six people aboard and one on the ground. The victims included a child, her mother, and four crew members traveling to Mexico. The aircraft exploded into a fireball, engulfing several homes in a Philadelphia neighbourhood.


The Learjet 55 crashed near a busy intersection in the Rhawnhurst neighborhood, close to Roosevelt Mall. A doorbell camera recorded the aircraft’s rapid descent and fiery explosion. Everyone on board, including the child and her mother, were from Mexico. The child had just completed treatment for a life-threatening condition and was being transported home. The flight’s final destination was Tijuana, with a scheduled stop in Missouri.

Shriner’s Children’s Hospital in Philadelphia confirmed that the child was a patient at their facility. The hospital expressed condolences to the families of the plane crash victims and appreciation for first responders.

At least six people on the ground sustained injuries. Three injured individuals have been released, while others remain in fair condition. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is investigating the crash, as the plane disappeared from radar shortly after takeoff. Air traffic control classified it as a “lost aircraft.”

Following the incident, Jet Rescue Air Ambulance emphasized that they conduct rigorous maintenance on their aircraft and employ experienced crew members. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro described the incident as a devastating aviation disaster.

This is the second fatal crash for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance in 15 months. In 2023, a company plane crashed into a hillside in Mexico, killing five crew members. The plane crash video captures a massive cloud of smoke erupting after impact, startling nearby people.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) confirmed that an NTSB investigator is on-site. More officials will join as authorities investigate the cause of the crash.

It is notable that the mishaps happened within a week of Washington Reagan Airport plane crash.
