Man hit in head by debris from Philadelphia plane crash that broke through diner window

A man dining at a Philadelphia diner was injured on Friday as a result of debris from a medevac jet that crashed and exploded on a city street. The debris flew through a window of the restaurant, striking the man in the head.

Security footage from the Four Seasons Diner Restaurant on Cottman Avenue captured the incident. The diner is located approximately half a mile away from where the crash occurred. The footage shows multiple patrons sitting in booths and a waitress standing nearby moments before an object enters the frame at high speed.

A male diner seated in a booth can be seen reacting as the object hits him in the head, causing his hat to fly off. The impact causes the man to bend over, while others in the diner are shown ducking for cover.

A diner employee told FOX5 Philadelphia that an object flew through a window and struck the customer in the head.

Jet Air Ambulance spokesperson Shai Gold told Fox News Digital that a passenger on the flight was a Mexican citizen who was in the U.S. for life-saving medical treatment.

On Sunday, Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker said that at least 22 people were injured, and the seventh fatal victim was in a car at the time of the crash.

“Five of the victims remain hospitalized currently, and three of them are in critical condition,” the mayor said at the press conference. “We have not, out of respect for their families and their loved ones, shared the names of any of those who have been impacted. Please continue to lift them, their families and loved ones up in prayer.”

On Sunday, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) announced that it had recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the scene, which was found eight feet below the site of the initial impact.

Investigators also found the aircraft’s enhanced ground proximity warning system, which the NTSB says “could also contain flight data.”
