A medical transport jet, en route to Springfield, Missouri, carrying a child patient, her mother, and four others, including crew, crashed into a north-east Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday evening, erupting in a fireball and setting several homes ablaze just 30 seconds after taking off.
No one on the plane survived. There are reports of people on the ground who were hurt.
