What Happened?
The airplane, a Learjet 55, had just taken off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport. It was heading to Springfield, Missouri. Shortly after takeoff, something went wrong, and the plane came down in a busy intersection near Roosevelt Mall, a place where many people live and shop.
People on the Plane
At first, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) thought there were two people on the plane. Later, they said there were actually six people aboard. We don’t know yet if they were able to get out safely or not.
Fires and Injuries
When the plane crashed, it started fires in several homes and cars! 🔥 Emergency crews rushed to the scene to help put out the fires and assist anyone who was hurt. Some people who were on the ground were injured, but we don’t know how many yet.
Helping Hands
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said, “We are offering all resources as emergency services respond to the small private plane crash in Northeast Philly.” It’s good to know that lots of people are working hard to help everyone involved. 🤝
Investigating the Crash
The FAA confirmed that the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) will investigate what caused the crash. They will look at everything carefully to find out what happened and how to prevent it from happening again.
Stay Safe, Everyone!
Events like this can be scary, but it’s important to remember that many people are working to keep us safe. If you ever see an emergency, make sure to tell an adult and follow safety instructions.
