Plane crashes in Philadelphia, igniting inferno near homes and mall

New photos of the private plane crash in Philadelphia reveal the crumpled black box left over from the craft Tuesday.

The National Transportation Safety Board reported that the black box was found buried eight feet below the crash site. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance confirmed that their Learjet 55 crashed while taking off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport just last week.

The company disclosed that there were six individuals on board during the incident: a pilot, copilot, physician, paramedic, a pediatric patient, and her mother. All occupants were Mexican nationals.

The NTSB confirmed they recovered the black box on Sunday, but they did not release photos of the device. 

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker was at the forefront during a press briefing after a plane crash occurred in Philadelphia on Friday, January 31, 2025. The incident involved a Learjet 55 belonging to Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, which crashed upon departure from Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

Meanwhile, 38-year-old Jason Rodriguez – who was in the area at the time of the crash – remains missing, according to FOX 29. His family says he was shopping when they last heard from him.

Fox News’ Pilar Arias, Andrea Margolis, Greg Wehner and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
