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.
