Duffy: I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue!
Yeah I played at the one next to NE Philly airport 40 years ago. I was on the golf team in high school (Catholic League). That was the home course of one of the schools we played against.
How awful — an air ambulance. I can’t even imagine what it was like for those people driving down the road and seeing that explosion directly ahead of them! It was like a bomb!
Fox now saying injuries on the ground. Also many cars burnt in parking lot. Pieces of plane in McDonalds, oxygen tank marked med jet found 1/4 mile away.
It just took off. Loaded with fuel. Thats why.
Weird — medical plane heading for Springfield MO. I’m in MO and have no knowledge of some special hospital or treatment center. Only thing I can think of is a hospital ran by a church that may offer free treatment
Roosevelt & Cottman is one of the busiest parts of the city in terms of day-to-day local population (as opposed to the business district in Center City). There are going to be a **LOT** of views of this. Dozens.

The air ambulance that just crashed in Philadelphia is registered in MEXICO.
In America, all aircraft registrations start with the letter N.
In Mexico, they start with X.
The XA prefix designates the jet as a MEXICAN CIVIL AIRCRAFT.
Plane has a 2200 mile flight range. Springfield could have been a fuel stop to top off. Who knows. We’ll find out soon.
I played in State Amateurs at Huntington Valley, Merion, and Overbrook. All 3 were great.
Live in South Jersey about 25 miles from Philly (Hammonton, NJ). Heard a loud bang at 6:30. Sounded like someone set off an M80.
Give about 4+ months for the NTSB report of Facts.
Thank you for the video.
I could see the plane was rolling (from the Anti-Collision Lights).
Maybe just the lights and no fire before crash... the video was black/white, so hard to tell.
Funny that you mention that. I’m in Delco and I heard a bang that shook the rear window of the house in the kitchen. I thought it might be a potential burglar and went upstairs to get the gun.
Please put in “Breaking News”. Thanks.
John Madden had it right! No flying for me....
I agree. My last refuge for sanity in any media has been FR.
However, most of the postings over the past two aircraft incidents make FR look like a mental ward for the paranoid.
It was in breaking but they pulled it out of there. Guess this ain’t newsworthy here. If we find out a Tranny was involved it’ll be Breaking all over this place.
