Plane crashes on houses in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

That really didn't look like a plane crash. The angle, the immense explosion.... Why did it explode like that? It crashed almost immediately after takeoff?

Crazy footage, but it's really tiring how conspiracy nutjobs immediately try to stir the pot with their nonsense.

There is an Airport not too far from there so that’s a possibility. Not the big Philly airport but our smaller secondary one.


That shit looks crazy



This visibility today is not very good while driving for what it’s worth

I'm no aviation expert, but I thought planes could glide even if the engine is down? That plane does almost a straight beeline to the ground.

since the beginning of this year, airplane crashes have been happening every week. this is scary. How many so far since early Dec of 2024?

These shitty aviation companies need to start having more people doing proper fucking checkups on planes before they fucking leave the ground. this irresponsibility has to be paid by these companies and people need to go to jail with big fines to teach them not to fuck with lives of the people jus to save some money on maintenance and proper checkup.

I am furious with this news. poor people traveling by air for emergency medication just for them to die this way.

What's wrong with people just recklessly posting shit. Desensitization to graphic stuff in the U.S has led us down the wrong path. Dude posted someone leg supposedly from the crash in a thread on twitter that had nothing to do with the crash subject. I can't unsee that shit now. RIP to the victims, I really hate seeing people go out like that.

A girl from Mexico got life saving medical treatment in the US and was headed back to Mexico(I guess via Missouri) and her and her mother were two of the victims on the plane. Just a total tragedy. For a young girl to get treatment and then die from a tragic accident is about as awful as it gets.

Bloody hell. What a damn tragedy.

They are going to try to reconstruct the plane from all the pieces and debris and spend the next however many hours/days gathering all the debris and try to find out exactly what was wrong.

I know very little about aviation but I'd guess there had to be something mechanically wrong with the plane before it even took off because it couldn't have been in the air for more than a couple minutes before it crashed because that airport is very close from where it crashed.

So I wonder if it was thoroughly inspected before it took off or something fluky happened.

RIP. This is the kind of nightmare that will shock the town for years...
RIP

The NTSB having a busy week
They need months if not years for even one incident. This tragedy and the one at DC will make them busy for a long time. Hopefully they will be given the time to work and find the reasons to make sure that it never happen again.

Damn that footage is insane.
RIP to the victims.

Looking at some of the footage I guess the only silver lining is that it seems to have crashed on the street and not hit any building directly.

I wonder if the pilot just coincidentally crashed where they did it if they knew they were going to crash but somehow were able to guide it into the street. Because the plane wa a few hundred feet away from either crashing directly into row homes or a gas station. Tons of buildings in that area. Both of which would’ve been a total disaster. It’s a heavily trafficked area and it happened to land in the street I’m curious if the pilot controlled where it crashed to potentially save lives.

It's quite a straight and long road so it's possible they aimed for it but at the speed it was falling it might also have just been luck.
