According to the FAA, a Learjet 55 was en route to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri when it went down.

 

 

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A medical transport jet carrying six people slammed into a Northeast Philadelphia neighborhood moments after taking off on Friday, erupting in a fireball and engulfing several homes in fire.

It happened near Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard just after 6 p.m. Friday.

A horrible tragedy and a terribly unlucky day for those who were killed in the air and on the ground.  RIP

 

But why do Philly news channel have to keep replaying dash cam footage of the crash ad infinitum?  Are they not increasing the chances of PTSD in their viewership?

 

Reminds me of 9-11... same sort of replays...over and over and over again.... planes crashing.  And what for, other than to terrify and traumatise viewers?

 

And then another question arises: Was it actually a plane that impacted?
