He said pounds, but he had to mean gallons.

Looks like traffic is a mess in the area.

Not sure where the Mexico angle came from. It took off from NE Philly, got to 1600ft and then came down in a fireball.

Did someone light a cigarette with the oxygen going?

[volare737]

It took off in North Philadelphia.

Not sure if it is case here, but there is a town called Mexico in Missouri.

Again, I don’t know about these things; but posts 23 and 28.

It was actually a Lear jet. I can smell the smoke from my house. I believe that some kind of connection between those drones, the FAA keeping them quiet and perhaps aviation instruments, being purposely jammed

Mexico, New York
Mexico, Missouri
Mexico, Indiana

“Missile hit it?” There comes another comspiracy theory of the illegal Cartels having RPG’s to play with.

Ok. It was scheduled to go to Tijuana from Springfield, MO so I imagine it did originate in Tijuana.

Hoping one of the aviation experts can speak to how fast it was going when it came down. Doesn’t look like it is falling out of the sky, it looks like it has the hammer down.

[VeniVidiVici]

It looks like it got up to 250kts, give or take, to 1600ft and then ... something.

[volare737]

If it had been registered here, it would have had an N number.

[traumer]

Learjet 55...... not that small

[Jamestown1630]

That doesn’t explain Philadelphia, or make sense...

I guess we don’t really know much yet.

[DOC44]

why do you jump to conclusions without evidence?...

Because..... what are the odds

[cockroach_magoo]

The collapse of complex systems.

Atlas shrugs.
