Absolute chaos in Northeast Philadelphia. A Learjet 55 took off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, barely made it anywhere, and then—fireball. The thing came crashing down, and new footage shows the moment it erupted into a massive explosion on impact. Just an unreal scene.
Reports say the jet was on a medical assignment, heading to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri. Six people were on board. No official word yet on survivors, but after seeing that footage? It’s not looking good.
