anyone know about the navigational capabilities of this model plane?

My understanding is it basically nosedived on take off. I dont think there was time for a navigation issue

CNN aviation expert saying it appears that it stalled. Thinks its possible that it was a weight and balance issue (likely due to fuel).

Flying is generally considered to be the safest mode of travel.
However if there's an accident, it's nearly always fatal.
Imo.
Rest in peace to the deceased.
My utmost condolences to their families and loved ones.

Also, if there's an accident, it's typically a privately owned aircraft, like this.

Just rare that the crash happens in a busy area.

not really sure how they secure oxygen and other medical supplies on these air ambulance flights... never thought about it before

It would have had at least 600 to 700 gallons of fuel, possibly up to 1000.

This one’s making me anxious. Soo scary. I’m honestly grateful that the little girl had her mom with her, if there’s even the slightest thing to be grateful for. I mean I wish none of them had been on that flight but I can’t think of anything scarier and from her perspective at least she had her mom there. Speechless really.

Seems it was mere seconds after take off. Not sure a black box can survive the impact and the explosion, but I'm not sure there was time for terror on board.

BREAKING: Per @NBCPhiladelphia the flight was an “angel flight” enroute to Mexico. A girl who had been receiving lifesaving medical care in the NE was returning back to Mexico with her parent. All the occupants of the plane were Mexican, the station reported. The plane was headed to Tijuana, according to the owner of the company.

Likely had 700 gallons of fuel if I were to guess. It was just coming to SGF for fueling and for US customs purposes since it was leaving the country. We get a lot of flights here that come here for fuel and rest stops.

A pediatric patient who received care for a life-threatening illness in the United States was aboard the Learjet 55 that crashed in Philadelphia, according to Shai Gold, spokesman for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance.

The girl, one of six people on the flight, was returing to Tijuana, Mexico. The others on the plane included her mother, a pilot, a copilot, a doctor and a paramedic, Gold said. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance does not believe anyone on the plane survived the crash.

"All I can say is, the patient was sponsored by a third-partner charity to undergo life-saving treatment in the U.S.," Gold said. "She did her course of care. She was going home.

"She fought quite a lot to survive, and unfortunately, this tragedy on the way home.
