A peaceful night in Northeast Philadelphia turned into a nightmare when a medevac jet came screaming down from the sky! Domingo Colon and his wife were just leaving their home when they heard the horrifying sound. Their Ring camera recorded everything.
The doomed aircraft roared overhead, vanishing behind townhouses before erupting into a massive fireball. The explosion lit up the sky like a scene from a disaster movie! The impact was so intense that the Ring camera’s microphone couldn’t even pick up the deafening blast.
Colon and his wife didn’t hesitate. Fearing for their lives, they ran back inside, narrowly escaping the chaos.
Six people aboard—including a little girl!
Tragically, six people were on board the medevac jet. Among them: a little girl, her mother, a doctor, a paramedic, and two pilots. None of them survived.
The ill-fated plane crashed into a parking lot near the busy intersection of Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, sending shockwaves through the city.
Motorist captures the horror on dashcam!
Chris Andro was driving on Roosevelt Boulevard when the unthinkable happened. The night sky suddenly turned bright orange as the explosion ripped through the neighborhood.
“Holy s–t, oh my God, is this on video?” Andro gasped, staring at his dashcam, which caught the terrifying moment in real-time.
Thick black smoke billowed from the wreckage, visible between houses and trees. Andro stopped at a red light, unable to believe what he had just witnessed.
Six Mexican nationals killed—survivors rushed to hospital
Mexico’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed that all six victims were Mexican nationals. Their journey ended in tragedy just three miles from their destination, the Pennsylvania airport.
The disaster didn’t stop with the crash. At least six people on the ground suffered injuries. Three were rushed to the hospital but have since been released. Three more remain under treatment at Temple University Hospital’s Jeanes Campus, fighting to recover from the shocking catastrophe.
A week of aviation rragedies!
This heartbreaking disaster comes just two days after another aviation horror! An American Airlines regional jet, Flight 5342, collided with a military Black Hawk helicopter while attempting to land at Reagan National Airport.
The result? A midair catastrophe. All 64 passengers on the plane and three soldiers aboard the helicopter are presumed dead.
Two major aviation disasters in one week! What is happening in our skies?
