The plane crash occurred near Roosevelt Mall, Cottman Avenue, Philadelphia. About 3 miles from Northeast Philadelphia Airport. The plane was departing from the airport and was probably climbing at the time of the incident. It appears from the straight vertical fall that the plane experienced a catastophic malfunction.

If we possessed things like these objects we would own the world . If China, Russia, North Korea had such technology they would as well. Think about that . They are not aware of our flight trajectory and usually not on our radar so the possibility of one of these things taking down a plane is quite a possibility.

​@@tommloye4626 No way.. That is a type of spatial disorientation. There were 2 instrument rated professional pilots flying this airplane. Flying in the clouds in IMC is something they do every single day. Their IFR clearance was to turn right to a heading of 290 right after takeoff, they never did. I believe they encountered a serious problem shortly after takeoff they were fighting with. Maybe an explosion in the engine, or some other major mechanical problem that took away their ability to control the aircraft. What that problem was is currently unknown. This aircraft doesn't have a black box, therefore, finding the cause of this accident is going to be very difficult. ( private, instrument, commercial, multi-engine pilot)

There are other videos around KZbin that clearly show that it wasn't on fire. What looks like fire are the landing lights, which on a Lear are located on the tail.

My guess is something ignited all the medical oxygen on board (or something else), causing an explosion that damaged the aircraft catastrophically and/or rendered the pilots unresponsive.

[@_outofphase5480]

Oxygen doesn’t ignite.

[@mobell6122]

Oxygen is explosive/ignitable. That’s why in surgery there is concern when over oxygenating patients for anesthesia, especially with cautery because explosive fires can ignite. It’s definitely a thing that’s taught in medical and veterinary fields. 🙂

[@Captain101-x1o]

Oxygen is extremely flammable! It is classed as dangerous goods for air transport. Medical oxygen on medivac flights is exempted from DG regs. There is no evidence the aircraft was on fire before it crashed. What we see are the aircraft’s lights.

[@Piecenotwar]

@@mobell6122Oxygen doesn’t ignite or explode, however if pure Oxygen is directed at a fuel it can cause the fuel to spontaneously ignite. Oxygen itself is not flammable. If you have something combustible like alcohol near by it could spontaneously ignite it. Your theory may add weight to the size of the explosion on impact, like a bomb going off.

This guy said if they fill the gas tank wrong the plane will go straight down? I call bs

[@StacySelah]

Maybe, but that puppy was coming down fast.. prayers to the people affected by this horrific crash..

[@TLSFC5050]

Loss of hydraulics? I disagree

[@lisamuller-ps9vb]

God bless USA.❤🙏 It all has started this way after Trump election. It is horror.😢

[@raymort3]

This wasn’t a WB issue. How dumb. It was on fire.

[@Grimbeeper-mv3gt]

You would burn up both engines and start a fire trying to keep flying out of cg.

[@jlock611]

@@Grimbeeper-mv3gt fascinating. Please elaborate.

[@Grimbeeper-mv3gt]

@@jlock611 if you take a 55 into the air out of cg this is what happens… you lose all elevator control and bend the power levers trying to get more power and a 55 will over temp and catch on fire…..that’s 25k hours of captain time talking….lears are Texas lawn darts in the wrong hands

[@Captain101-x1o]

⁠​⁠@@Grimbeeper-mv3gtutter rubbish! Firstly it’s actually pretty hard to get the standard 55 out of trim unless it’s the ER version, and even then not easy. Over temping a jet engine will not normally cause it to catch fire, well not immediately. Exceeding EPR or N2 is more of a concern but even so it will normally throw a blade or bearing and is unlikely to catch fire. It takes a major fuel or oil leak to cause fire and even then it’s normally well contained. Secondly- Even if the engine does catch fire, as it is aft mounted on a pylon the fire will not effect the fuselage as will trail behind the aircraft. You can probably fly for 15 mins with the engine on fire before it just burns itself off the pylon. Thirdly - The aircraft here is clearly not on fire. The video shows white light projecting in front of the aircraft. Fire is orange and trails behind the aircraft. I would hold off on that NTSB job application a while longer if I was you….

@ you might be right

Thankyou to the pilot who acknowledged the families. Freaking host sucks ass😢so disrespectful

Jesse Weber, what are you doing on news nation

[@AllegedlyMaybe]

Thought the same thing thinking they may be sister stations these days after this video I'm gonna do some digging see if there was a merge I'll come back and let you know!

[@AllegedlyMaybe]

Or maybe cousins perhaps.... their parent companies may be siblings... I'll let you know what I find.

[@Nobody-eg4bi]

the same thing happened in the Soviet Union in the last years before its collapse

[@kelcritcarroll]

What about a stall?

[@jordanhenshaw]

This segment was a complete waste. Load imbalance is a zebra and loss of hydraulics? Lol wut? This is a classic stall presentation. Bro is clueless.

[@tfiresmith01]

Listen to the raw audio from the tower. Some ones says “you are fucking with the wrong people!” I promise!

[@charlesmcfarling9337]

That hurt my brain to watch that whole segment. The first guy, the captain, didn't address the giant elephant standing in the middle of the room, that is, why was the fucking plan on fire before it hit the ground. That has nothing to do with weight and balance. Typically if it's a weight and balance problem, and the plane is unbalanced toward the left, we saw what happened with that 747 in Afghanistan, the nose will come up and the plane will eventually stall and fall out of the sky. If the center of gravity is too far forward, and if you're going fast enough for it to fly, you can pretty easily compensate for that by using your control surfaces to keep the plane flying level, at least not in a nose down attitude. And then the question of whether anybody "could have exited the airplane". That may be the dumbest question I ever heard on a news segment. That was just a simply dumbfoundingly stupid comment and I hope at some point he is embarrassed for making it. In terms of the accident, it looks like the plane exploded. The video shows nothing... and all of a sudden a fireball plummeting straight to Earth appears. If it had been on fire you would have seen a very dull glow that would have gotten brighter as it approached, but that's not what you saw. In my opinion it exploded, and there's only a couple possible reasons for that. One is they lost an engine that threw debris and took out a wing filled with fuel. The second possibility that comes to mind is a medical oxygen tank blew up. If they had developed a fast leak or valve was broken on a tank of 100% oxygen, it's possible that it became concentrated enough to ignite. I don't know why the plane exploded, I just know that particular news segment was an exercise an idiocy.

[@solutions4tenants141]

It was already ablaze when the jet did the nose dive.

Dumbest question of the last 4 days award goes to this hack

It’s a dreadful accident all you media outlets need to stop speculating on the what is terrible for all involved.

[@jamesmorton7881]

BULL SHIT. The helicopter in the WRONG place. Both PIC (pilot in command) are responsible FOR their aircraft. BULL SHIT. Mr helicopter pilot.

[@audreydaleski1067]

Fuel bladders? Oxygen?

[@WillBlindYouWithLight]

People said that they heard news of people evacuating the plane. Y'all stop trippin.

[@VictorBlackVIP]

If you have too much weight in the back you will not nose dive How can you stabilize in the air if are to heavy in the back this doesn't make sense

[@stevegungel787]

Possible bird strike would cause an engine compressor stall and if wings were damaged, this would interfere with proper airflow over the wings. Hydraulic systems would be compromised as well as navigation/communication systems by the strike of a bird flock.

[@MrHandleman123]

Tell me what you don’t know… why can’t people reporting wait a beat to get the facts?
