What is happening there in Philly?

Supposedly a small plane crashed by the mall. It's just breaking news. It's scary.  Praying for everyone.

Only know what I'm watching on youtube. Hate to see this after the DC crash. Prayers to all. It looks bad JMO. I know there are some posters from this area, maybe they have more info.

"An investigation is underway after a small plane crashed in the area of Northeast Philadelphia.

It happened near Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard just after 6 p.m. Friday."

Action News has learned a plane possibly hit several buildings and cars in the area.

Multiple casualties have been reported. (ETA some reports say air ambulance Lear jet had just taken off with 6 onboard, but of course initial reports are not verified)

Apparently, a small plane aircraft exploded in mid-air. Aircraft reportedly strikes mall in Philadelphia. It has been reported six people are dead. The fires are burning everywhere.

It makes me think about incidents happening in 3's.

There's one video showing the plane crashing in a missile like trajectory at a very high speed. It wasn't a typical plane crash. This plane was diving pretty much straight down. That's a weird way for a plane to crash. If you didn't  have confirmation it was a plane, you'd think it was a missile. Total control failure? It certainly had enough airspeed for the control surfaces to function. It was moving very, very quickly.

This is correct, except for the part about the mall.  The crash happened near the mall, but not directly in it.  As far as I know, a few homes were hit.

Lear jet 55 - some sort of medivac aircraft.  Multiple homes hit.

I pray for those onboard and on the ground.  What the heck is happening?  Everyday it's more bad news.  I feel like just checking out....no tv, no radio, no internet.  Just read and my music.  🥺
