I know right where that is. Shopped in that area many times while growing up in Philly area. Surrounded by Rowhomes.Small plane crashes near busy Philadelphia shopping center | Fox News Video

Huge fire & medical response. Potential mass casualty given location and time. Crashed 30 seconds after takeoff from NE Philly airport. Debris scattered pretty wide. Talked to my sister and she said an oxygen cylinder landed inside a McDonalds nearby.
Northeast airport isn't a big airport. Im not sure they can aven accommodate big planes. I think it is mostly small planes and some private corporate jets. I worked in a hanger there for a few weeks. I think Crown cork had a jet there.
Yep, I have relative that lives in Mayfair section and drives home from work along the Boulevard, then driving on Cottman Ave. She is OK and was already home.

Don’t discuss here….. some pinhead will turn it political and the mods will block the discussion rather than discarding the pinheads……….what a shame………this board used to be a source of information.
This is Roosevelt Mall area @ Cottman & Boulevard. Haven't been there in many years so can't speak to Walmart. My sister said the Walmart is about 1 mile away.
Quit crying. Your whining will lead it down the path of getting it moved to the current event board
Tons of videos out there now from all different angles and perspectives.
Rutgers rivals has some videos. Very Disturbing.
Looks like it crashed on a side street intersection. One pedestrian on fire. Looked like something out of The Walking dead.

I actually did…..been to the airport, flown the approach, landed , dealt with the helicopters……I never mentioned politics on this board.
Condensed area of houses, shopping traffic. Have to assume more than just those on board have died or been injured.
Initial report was jet crashed 30 seconds after take off, but now Action News in Philly reporting (from NE Philly airport sources) the aircraft was in the air six minutes before crashing.
I have driven both ways on Cottman and Roosevelt many times, especially around noon. I shudder to think what that initial impact would have been like for the passengers and all the passersby.
Instead of politicizing this tragedy, weep for all those who lost their lives or were injured and forever traumatized by it.

I don’t think this has anything to do with anything other than a catastrophic structural or electronic failure on board the plane. The only good news is that the passengers and crew didn’t suffer.
BTW this is what a hero looks like

One on ground in a car was killed. Still searching homes, according to Philadelphia mayor.
Just heard another theory: a uncommanded thrust reverser. Former military pilot says these jets have had a history of the thrust reversers activating without being commanded. That seems crazy that it wouldn’t be fixed or the planes grounded.
Here’s video of impact site. Hole seems really small considering impact speed and size of the explosion.

Picture of voice data recorder on the jet that crashed in Philadelphia. Looks really mangled yet they say they can get the data.
