No, we don’t. I just figured it went to Philly to pickup med passengers to fly to MO. I really don’t think it was carrying passengers to Philly and then on to Springfield.

It was so fast, but I think there was possibly a small streak, barely visible going towards the plane, then the explosion in the sky, then the streak going to the ground.

I know it is hard to judge speed from these poor quality videos, but really reminds one of a missile coming in full speed at a target (not saying it is a missile). Like well above 250 kts when it impacts. Could it really get up that much speed from 1600 feet? I’ll wait to hear more from the experts.

Mexico Maine dates back 1818. I think our view of them was a little different back then.

And it is a very small town, not a city.

There’s also a town in NY named Moscow. I was in the USMC with a guy from there. Sergeants used to have a field day with that one. LOL

Great video. It captures the explosion that brought the jet down. The explosion is seen at the start of the clip. It is at the 11 O’clock position of the street lamp on the R in the video. As the explosion is stationary it is not a missile but imo an explosion on or inside the aircraft.

250kts was the last reported speed. My guess is that if something happened there is the possibility that the engines were still full speed heading down. It did look like a meteor.

Looks like it was on fire and dropping quickly before it hit.
