Doorbell camera captures video of Philadelphia plane crash with 'multiple casualties'

31 January

First responders are now on the scene responding to a plane crash in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with "multiple casualties" reported.

Philadelphia NPR and PBS affiliate WHYY reported Friday that the crash happened near Philadelphia's Roosevelt Mall at approximately 6 PM Eastern Time, which is in the Northeast part of the city. The plane also reportedly hit several homes and cars in the area. WHYY also reported that the crash happened less than three miles from the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, which is primarily used for private jets and charter flights.

Fox 29 reported that the crash, which happened near Cottman Avenue and Bustleton Avenue, resulted in multiple fires in the area, with one witness describing the crash as a "big old explosion of light from out of nowhere." Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro (D) posted a statement to X that he's coordinating response efforts with city officials and "offering all commonwealth resources."

The crash comes just on the heels of a deadly mid-air collision between a regional American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter near the Washington D.C. National Airport earlier this week. All 67 people involved in the crash are presumed dead, and first responders are still in the process of recovering victims and debris from the Potomac River.

Investor Tony Seruga posted a vicdeo to X captured by a Ring doorbell camera showing the crash as it happened. An aircraft can be seen in the background plummeting rapidly before a large plume of fire rages in the background and a large explosion is heard.
