Philadelphia air tragedy: Second US plane crash in a week

A small jet carrying six people crashed in a Philadelphia neighborhood, marking the second US aviation disaster this week. The Learjet 55 was on a medical transport mission when it went down, killing all onboard.

A small jet with six people onboard crashed into a busy Philadelphia neighborhood Friday, officials said, marking another US aviation disaster after a passenger plane and a military helicopter collided midair in Washington earlier this week.
Video footage appeared to show the twin-engine plane descending at a sharp angle towards a residential area, sparking a huge fireball upon impact and showering wreckage over homes and vehicles.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the aircraft was a Learjet 55 -- an American-French business jet -- that had taken off shortly before from Northeast Philadelphia Airport bound for Branson, Missouri.
The crash happened just after 6:00 pm (2300 GMT).
A young girl who had been in the United States for medical care, her mother, and members of the flight and medical crews accompanying her onboard were killed in the crash, the children's hospital that treated her told AFP.
"The patient had received care from Shriners Children's Philadelphia and was being transported back to her home country in Mexico on a contracted air ambulance when the crash happened," said Mel Bower, a spokesman for Shriners Children's.
The aircraft's operator Jet Rescue Air Ambulance confirmed in a statement to US media that there were two passengers and four crew, adding, "At this time, we cannot confirm any survivors."
Dozens of emergency workers were on the scene outside Roosevelt Mall, a strip mall in Northeast Philadelphia with retailers and food outlets.
US President Donald Trump on Friday took to his Truth Social platform and said he was "sad" to see "more souls lost" in the Philadelphia tragedy. He praised first responders, adding: "God Bless you all."
Several witnesses told local TV crews that they saw body parts in or near the wreckage, as Philadelphia City Council member Mike Driscoll said he feared residents or others on the ground may have been killed.
"It doesn't look good. And it's a sad situation here," he told CNN.
The FAA said it was launching an investigation with the National Transportation Safety Board.
<h3> - Washington tragedy -</h3>
Both agencies are already probing the deadliest US air disaster in almost a quarter century, after a passenger jet operated by an American Airlines subsidiary collided with a Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday.
The airliner with 64 people onboard was coming in for a night landing at Reagan National Airport in Washington -- just a few miles from the White House -- when it collided with the US Army helicopter on a training mission.
Divers were scouring Friday for the remaining bodies in the frigid Potomac River, after having pulled at least 41 victims from the water.
Investigators on Friday found the helicopter's black box after having already retrieved the cockpit voice and flight data recorder from the Bombardier jet operated by an American Airlines subsidiary.
Officials are confident data can be fully extracted from the recorders, said NTSB member Todd Inman, adding an investigation was still being carried out.
However, the lack of clarity over the accident's cause did not deter Trump's politicized commentary.
He appeared to place blame on the military helicopter in a post on the Truth Social platform, saying it was "flying too high, by a lot."
This followed a news conference Thursday where the Republican pinned the blame for the crash on his Democratic predecessors Joe Biden and Barack Obama, claiming without evidence they had hired the wrong people due to non-discrimination initiatives known as DEI.
Chesley Sullenberger, who famously landed a stricken passenger plane on New York's Hudson River in 2009, told network MSNBC he was "disgusted" but "not surprised" by Trump's rhetoric.
Aviation experts, meanwhile, homed in on whether the helicopter crew could see through military night-vision goggles and whether the Reagan National Airport control tower was understaffed.
Interviews of staff who were in the control tower at the time of the crash have already begun, the NTSB said.
The collision was the first major crash in the United States since 2009, and the deadliest since an American Airlines jet crash in Belle Harbor, New York in 2001 that killed all 260 aboard.
Among those on Wednesday's doomed airliner were several US skaters and coaches, and Russian couple Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who won the 1994 world pairs title.
Two Chinese citizens and a Filipino were also among the victims.

Police said that the shooting happened around 2.30 pm between two factions inside the park during which approximately 30 shots were fired.

3 injured in Philadelphia shooting during Ramzan celebration    

Police said that the shooting happened around 2.30 pm between two factions inside the park during which approximately 30 shots were fired.

At least three people were injured after a shooting unfolded at a park in West Philadelphia where an estimated 1,000 people had gathered to mark the end of Ramzan.
Police said that the shooting happened around 2.30 pm on Wednesday between two factions inside the park during which approximately 30 shots were fired.
Amidst the gunfire, a police officer was injured while trying to engage an armed 15-year-old male suspect.
According to CNN, five people have been arrested, of which four are juveniles.
Howeverm police have not confirmed whether the event itself was targeted.
"We are very, very fortunate today that we did not have more individuals shot and anyone killed," Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel told reporters.
"What we do know is there appear to be two factions within the park, who are now exchanging gunfire," Bethel said.
Three people were wounded, including an armed 15-year-old who was shot by police. He was hit in the arm and leg.
Five people were arrested including the teen, and five guns were recovered, police said.
"Eid should always be a time of joy for our Muslim neighbors. And I grieve for every member of the Philadelphia Muslim community whose celebration was shattered by gun violence today," Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

They confirmed to Action News that 12 people have been shot. There's no immediate word on the conditions of the victims and it's still unclear what led up to the shooting.&nbsp;
Earlier, US President Joe Biden expressed his anguish over the recent gun violence in Raleigh, North Carolina that left five people dead and two wounded.&nbsp;
"Enough. We've grieved and prayed with too many families who have had to bear the terrible burden of these mass shootings," Biden said in a statement. Condemning the mass shootings in America, he said that there is so much gun violence that many killings do not even make the news anymore.

Three people died and at least 11 were wounded in a shooting late Saturday night in Philadelphia, authorities said.
According to police, officers were patrolling the area on South Street in downtown Philadelphia when they heard multiple gunshots and witnessed several suspects firing into a large crowd just before midnight.
An officer shot at one of the suspects from about 30 feet (9 meters) away, but it was unclear if the suspect was hit.
According to the police, there were hundreds of individuals on South Street, a regularly busy street during weekends, before the shooting broke out.
South Street is known for its entertainment venues and night life with multiple bars, restaurants and businesses.
Among the victims were two men and a woman whose names were not immediately made public by authorities. The conditions of those who were wounded by gunfire remained unknown.
Two handguns were recovered, including one with an extended magazine, but no arrests had been made. A post on the official police department on Twitter advised people to avoid the area.
The US has been rocked by a series of high-profile shootings in recent weeks, including at a school in Texas, a church in California, a grocery store in New York and a hospital in Oklahoma. The incidents have collectively left dozens dead.
During warmer months, gun violence tends to spike in the United States, where there were an estimated 393 million guns in circulation in 2020, more than the number of people.
US President Joe Biden last week forcefully called for new gun control legislation in response to the recent violence, lamenting the "everyday places that have become killing fields, battlefields here in America."
