A medical transport jet crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood on January 31, 2025, shortly after takeoff, causing an explosion that engulfed several homes. The Learjet 55, carrying a child patient, her mother, and four crew members, was transporting the child back to Mexico after treatment in Philadelphia. The crash killed all six people aboard, although it was unclear if anyone on the ground was injured. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro confirmed the fatalities and described the incident as an “awful aviation disaster.”
