PA - Small plane crashes in Northeast Philadelphia

The "guardian" in this case was probably a relative travelling with their child. IMO.

That seem solid, but they said the childs guardian was also a patient of the same treatment place.

I think the wording made it unclear.

....was a patient, as also was her mother in the flight...

The 'also' means 'also on the flight', not 'also a patient' IMO.

All so sad. To get miracle treatment and have it end in a tragic inferno, it's so very sad and scary.

Probably written by AI. The hospital is a children’s hospital.

God forbid there was an oxygen tank for someone oxygen-dependent on board

I saw a video last night of oxygen tanks in the wreckage, unfortunately.

Edited to add; What we know about the victims of the Philadelphia plane crash
“Debris from the crashed Learjet 55 was scattered across a wide area, with pieces landing as far as a quarter mile from the main crash site. FOX 29's Steve Keeley says a police commander at the scene told him officers were clearing out the parking lot of a McDonald's at Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, where a medical oxygen tank from the jet was found.”

The debris field looks like Armageddon.

Sobering.

Video shows burning cars, debris after plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia

Another video from the ground. My eyes aren’t good enough to tell if the plane is in two pieces, or if a car and a plane are burning

The speed it went into the ground, it's going to be in about a million pieces.

I saw a lot of pictures of burned out cars that were otherwise intact, so it's probably cars.

MOO

I'm a hospice nurse who covers philly, chesco, and delco. A former patient's (who passed last year) granddaughter texted me last night right after. She lives in the NE, a block off the Blvd. She's okay, but we actually bought her a ring camera while her grandma was a patient, due to issues with other family members. She's going to check her footage today. This is a sad event, especially with the volume of people and traffic in that area on a Friday evening.

A word of warning: be very cautious when viewing cell phone footage of the immediate aftermath of this horrible accident. I made the mistake of watching videos other than news coverage and there are some highly graphic images that I will be unlikely to forget. As an aside, I wish people would have some compassion before posting images and videos (not here, Websleuths would NEVER allow this stuff). Life isn't about getting the most clicks and likes. The victims deserve respect as do their loved ones who lost them. I'll get off my morning soapbox now. MOO

Yeah, I never watch stuff like that on social media. I rarely watch videos on mainstream media. I don't need that in my head, I have enough horrors in there already.

MOO

I would also remind folks of how often these miscellaneous video links after a catastrophe of any sort.......... are links to dangerous sites, that can freeze up your device, or can do any other sorts of harm.

I learned the hard way once....... so I now, never connect to miscellaneous links!!

Good point. The ones I saw were embedded into Twitter (X?? whatever the heck it is called these days LOL) so I didn't go to any external links, but valid point to others who might be prone to clicking links.

Yeah there’s some extremely graphic videos on X. And no graphic content warnings. People are posting human remains. I would avoid X for crash footage for now tbh, I am after running into that image.

Coming from a long Health Care background and being very familiar with medical transport, I suspected they had pressureized (100% oxygen tanks w/2500 +psi) on board. We know from experience these tanks will explode at a relatively low altitude in pressurized cabin. Even, so called empty tanks still have a residual. This usually happens shortly after take off, as the aircraft gains altitude.

Great reminder. How often do we see incident video with people in the background not helping or showing concern but catching it all on video? That's the last thing I would think of during a tragedy.

What a disaster to try and figure out. It's going to difficult to figure out how many people were killed because this happened in a busy area and people would be driving and be out and about. It's going to take a team of crime scene specialists to help identify the body parts. It's horrific.
