Philadelphia (KYW) — A new report provides never-before-seen video and hundreds of pages of evidence on last year’s medical plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia.
The National Transportation Safety Board released a public docket Tuesday that details more on the jet crash that killed eight people. It offers new details, including photos of debris that was in some spots barely recognizable — but the cause of the crash is still under investigation.
In the new videos released by the NTSB, one shows a thunderous explosion from a neighborhood Ring camera.
The second shows the plane descending from a fast-food window surveillance camera.
The cause of the crash will be determined at the end of the NTSB’s investigation.
The medical Learjet 55 crashed on Jan. 31, 2025, in front of the busy Roosevelt Mall on Cottman Avenue. The crash killed all six people onboard and two on the ground, and injured more than 20 others.
The crash in the densely populated area of Northeast Philadelphia damaged homes and businesses in the area.
The plane left Northeast Philadelphia Airport carrying a pediatric patient. Its final destination was Tijuana, Mexico. But moments after takeoff, something went terribly wrong. The plane shifted course and slammed into the ground.
Since the tragedy, the community has come together.
One year after the crash, the community held a memorial service to pay tribute to victims, community members, and first responders.
CBS News Philadelphia has reported extensively on the journey of Ramesses Vazquez Viana, who survived the plane crash.
Ramesses, who is now 10, had most of his body burned during the crash. He still has a long road ahead of him, but his recovery has been nothing short of a miracle.
