On Friday night, January 31, 2025, a medical transport plane crashed near Roosevelt Mall in Northeast Philadelphia shortly after taking off from the local airport. The Learjet 55, en route to Missouri, was carrying six people—a pilot, co-pilot, doctor, paramedic, and two passengers, a six-year-old pediatric patient and her mother. Tragically, all aboard perished, and the crash ignited nearby homes and vehicles, killing one person on the ground and injuring 19 others. Investigations are underway, with the black box recovered to help determine the cause. The incident left significant damage to the area.
