I’m making an assumption here that this might be the flight.

The FAA is saying this is the flight. I don’t know why it was showing “real time” altitude.

Nobody survives that crash, but I hope where it impacted didn't lead to additional deaths. If that goes down at Roosevelt and Cottman at 6pm you would have dozens dead.

It pretty much did. Crashed about 6:06:30
The news is unable or unwilling(doubtful) to get video of the impact, but they have taken video from directly next to dunkin, pc Richards and asads chicken.

I have no idea how to post but my cousin was literally driving through as this crashed (he’s okay) but it’s crazy his view.

It won’t post but I probably shouldn’t either way. It looks like a war zone.

Jesus that's horrible. I live about an hour from Philly, but my neighbor works down in the main line area, and happened to be just up the street when that helicopter crashed in Drexel Hill a few years back. Was crazy to get a text with pictures of that. This is obviously much worse though. RIP

 

[Lord Defect]

Man this might be the “best case scenario” out of a horrific situation.
It looks like it might have crashed on cottman ave itself, or just in the mall parking lot across from the mattress store.

 

[BackToTheBrierePatch]

Condolences to everyone on board. Looked like a med flight.

Plane crash was 25 minute west of me on a road I take to my sisters often. Shes about 5 minutes East of the crash. Absolutely terrifying. Passengers in cars on the very busy Cottman Ave were most definitely killed in the explosion to go along with 6 plane passengers. Ive seen pictures of body parts from police officers I know. f***.

I was crossing the blvd at rhawn maybe minutes after the impact. It was pure chaos with emergency service vehicles flying all over the place.

Jeebus . .I used to drive down that way regularly....wtf!

 

[BiggE]

My God, just got home from a show and saw this. Horrific!

 

[trostol]

a friend of mine said she was there just minutes before this..another friend works right nearby

 

[Tripod]

Man such tragedy. Thoughts are with the people of Philly tonight.

I don’t know if anything was announced overnight but last I saw was 6 dead from the plane and 6 injured, which given where it landed, feels like should be way worse. Extremely fortunate it didn’t crash into any rowhomes. Cottman Avenue is the busiest W-E cross street in the city

Plane was returning a child and a family member to Mexico. The child had been treated at Shriners hospital. 6 on the plane dead. The miracle is only 6 ground injuries. Only 3 remain in the hospital this morning, and are reported as i stabile condition.

Just saw video from a diner. Old man points out the windows, then a piece of shrapnel came through the windows, hitting him in the forehead and knocking his hat off. Reportedly he was ok.

The 6 injuries on the ground with no deaths is a f***ing miracle. Especially considering there is a video of a man walking away on fire.

Just missed the street and hit the strip mall entrance

Roosevelt Mall is a large outdoor mall for anyone not familiar. There’s a bunch of things like the Dunkin that’s close to Cottman Ave, but more of them on the other side of the street

If it comes out the pilot know the flight was doomed and he purposely crashed there, dudes a f***ing hero.
That might be the best possibly spot in the area to crash.

 

[swami24]

First fatality on the ground now report. They were in a car, so may ha e been the person rebel57 mentions
