Seven people were killed after a medical transport plane crashed into a north-east Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday.
All six people on the flight and one person on the ground are dead. Nineteen others were injured, the Philadelphia mayor, Cherelle Parker, said.
The half-dozen people killed onboard the airplane, all from Mexico, included a child patient receiving care in Philadelphia, her mother and four others including crew members. The plane, which crashed a mere 30 seconds after taking off, erupted into a fireball and set several homes ablaze.
“I mourn the passing of six Mexicans in the aviation accident in Philadelphia, United States,” Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico’s president, said in a Spanish-language post on X. “Consular authorities are in constant contact with the families; I’ve asked the foreign affairs secretary to support whatever is needed. My solidarity with their loved ones and friends.”
The patient had just completed treatment at Shriners Children’s hospital and was on the jet with her mother and four crew members.
