Overview
A Learjet 55 crashed shortly after takeoff in Philadelphia, killing all six aboard, including a pediatric patient and her mother. Eyewitnesses reported explosions and flames as the jet, operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, went down close to homes in a residential area. The incident escalates scrutiny over FAA safety protocols, after a recent midair collision near Washington that resulted in 67 fatalities, where families are starting to file claims against the government, buoyed by admissions of fault from top officials including President Trump. Investigations into both crashes are ongoing, focusing on controller shortages and the need for safety protocol reforms.
