Second fatal plane crash in the US

An air ambulance transporting a child who had just completed treatment for a life-threatening condition, her mother and four others, has crashed into a Philadelphia neighbourhood in the United States.
The plane crashed shortly after takeoff just after 6pm on Friday evening, exploding in a fireball that engulfed several homes, videos aired on local TV stations showed.
Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, which operated the Learjet 55, said in a statement: “We cannot confirm any survivors.” It said the plane had four crew members apart from the child and her mother.
All six on board were Mexican citizens, the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement.
“The patient had received care from Shriners Children’s Philadelphia and was being transported back to her home country in Mexico on a contracted air ambulance when the crash happened,” said Mel Bower, a spokesman for Shriners Children’s hospital.
Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker told a news conference at the scene that several houses and cars had been engulfed in flames. She said the situation is “all hands on deck, that’s where we are right now”.
The crash follows this week’s collision of an American Airlines jet and a US Army Black Hawk helicopter over Washington, DC, which killed 67 people in the deadliest plane crash in the US since 2009.
