A jet crashed in Philadelphia yesterday. The crash happened less than 3 miles from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which primarily serves business jets and charter flights.
For the record that airport has planes fly over our house all day, every day.
The Learjet 55 quickly disappeared from radar after taking off from the airport at 6:06 p.m. and climbing to an altitude of 1,600 feet (487 meters). It was registered to a company operating as Med Jets, according to the flight tracking website Flight Aware.
No one seems how the plane crashed so quickly, or how it happened.
In a post on the social media platform Truth Social, President Donald Trump said: “So sad to see the plane go down in Philadelphia.”
“More innocent souls lost,” he added. “Our people are totally engaged.”
My neighbor is the Philadelphia Fire Marshal, and was at the site quickly. We're not yet sure how the plane crashed.
Guess you can disregard the email checking on you and yours.

I was going to send one, too. Glad the Earp family is OK.
DeleteThanks. We're good. But the NE Airport has had planes going over out house since we bought the house.
DeleteGlad it missed your neighborhood, but it begs the question, "Why?" Hope we have a definitive answer so steps can be implemented to assure it can't happer the same way again.
ReplyDeleteIt just dove into the ground. I don't think they know what happened. They finally cleared the streets today as I was coming back from Kevin's run at The University of Penn.
DeleteI heard Philly and thought of you and your family. Glad you're okay.
ReplyDeleteFirst thing I saw was the explosion. Didn't think it was a plane though.
DeleteAt least you weren't THIS guy ... who probably needs a new hat AND new pants.
