What we know about the victims of the Philadelphia crash

A medevac plane carrying a young girl, her mother and four crew members crashed near the Roosevelt Mall in Philadelphia on Friday night. All those aboard the plane, plus one bystander on the ground, were killed in the tragedy. While there is not much known about who was aboard the doomed medical flight, some details have been made public.

During a news conference Saturday afternoon, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), which is investigating the crash, said the Learjet 55 originated in Opa-Locka, Florida, and arrived at Northeast Philadelphia Airport at about 2:15 p.m.

The plane remained on the ground for a few hours before departing at about 6:06 p.m. 

CHILLING AUDIO REVEALS FINAL MOMENTS BEFORE PHILADELPHIA PLANE CRASH

It climbed to about 1,500 feet before making a slight right turn, followed by a slight left turn, and then a "steep descent toward the ground," where it crashed, according to the NTSB. The flight lasted less than a minute.

NTSB Chairman Jennifer Homendy noted the right and left turns right before the crash "[don’t] really suggest anything right now," and the crash is still classified as an accident.

Crews found the two engines, but are searching for the cockpit voice recorder — located somewhere within the debris field, which extends four to five blocks.

"I want to stress this was a high impact crash, and the plane is highly fragmented," Homendy said. "[The black box] could be intact, but likely it is very damaged. It may be fragmented."

The company said all those aboard the flight were Mexican nationals, but has yet to release their identities.

"The plane was loaded with jet fuel that's highly flammable. There is no indication that anybody survived, and by the debris field, I would be pleasantly surprised to learn otherwise," said Air Ambulance spokesperson Shai Gold.

Gold described the pilot and co-pilot as being "very seasoned," saying that "they know the job, and they do it many times."

Later, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the six nationals aboard the plane were killed. Sheinbaum added that she instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to do anything necessary to support the victims’ families.

In addition to the child and mother, there was a pilot, co-pilot, a physician and a paramedic aboard the plane.

Shriners Children's Hospital in Philadelphia confirmed in a statement on X that the young girl was a patient.

"Shriners Children’s is heartbroken to confirm that one of our pediatric patients and the child’s mother were aboard the Jet Rescue Air Ambulance that crashed in Philadelphia last night," the hospital’s post read. Citing patient privacy concerns, the hospital did not give further details.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the medical crew and pilots who were also lost in this tragic event – as well as all of the people who were affected on the ground – and we’re thankful to the first responders for their quick action."

In addition to those aboard the flight, several people on the ground near the crash were injured. This included an 11-year-old boy, a 31-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, according to NBC10, a local news outlet.

While city officials have only confirmed 19 injuries resulting from the medevac crash Friday night in Philadelphia, local hospitals have released statements indicating the number is likely higher.

Jefferson Health on Saturday confirmed it provided care for 15 victims.

Of those treated, 12 were discharged and two have been admitted, according to Jefferson Health. One patient was transferred to another hospital.

Six victims were treated and released from Temple Health Saturday morning.

President Donald Trump took to Truth Social to react to the tragedy.

"So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. More innocent souls lost. Our people are totally engaged," Trump wrote. "First Responders are already being given credit for doing a great job. More to follow. God Bless you all."

The crash in Philadelphia comes just days after a deadly midair aircraft collision near Washington, D.C., that claimed the lives of 67 people. 

The cause of the crash in Philadelphia, as well as the total number of casualties, remains unknown.
