In the north-east of Philadelphia, an ambulance plane Learjet 55, transporting four crew members, a child and her mother accompanying her, broke up in the state of Pennsylvania. This is written by Fox News.
“The plane was loaded with aviation fuel, which is very easily ignited. There are no signs that someone survived, and judging by the wreckage, I will be pleasantly surprised if I find out the opposite, ”said Shai Gold Gold, a representative of Jet Rescue Air Ambulans.
Jet Rescue Air Ambulant, which controlled the plane, said that the airliner crashed when departing from the airport at about 18:30 local time.
According to representatives of the airline, there were a pilot, a second pilot, doctor, paramedic and two passengers on board the aircraft - a girl from Mexico, who was treated in the United States from a dangerous disease, and her mother.

According to Gold, the aircraft was supposed to fly from Philadelphia to Tijuana International Airport with one technical stop in Springfield, Missouri, for refueling fuel.
“Experienced pilots controlled the plane. They know their work. We perform about 600-700 flights per year. We are very busy, very active and hold high -class staff, ”Gold says.
The exact causes of the crash of the air supply are still unknown. It is reported that not far from the scene of the accident, near the Cafe of the McDonald's fast food network, a medical oxygen cylinder was found.
Judging by the video of the crash and how the plane hit the ground, the retired pilot from Philadelphia John Anderson suggested that the rolled dumping was the probable cause of the disaster.
