The Tragic Air Ambulance Crash in Philadelphia

Today in Philadelphia, a devastating air ambulance crash has left the community in shock. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is on the scene, investigating the tragic incident that claimed the lives of all six people on board the plane and at least one person on the ground. At least 22 people were injured in the crash, which has created a massive debris field covering at least four blocks.

An Ongoing Investigation

The NTSB has located the black box of the medical transport jet, finding it 8 feet below the impact site. Investigators from the NTSB, the FBI, and the FAA are working tirelessly to piece together what happened. The situation is fluid and active, with officials calling on the public for help in locating debris.

A Heartbreaking Loss

Among the six people on board the plane were 31-year-old Lath Muro Osuna and her 11-year-old daughter Valentina Gusang Muro, who had just received medical care at a nearby hospital. The crash has caused significant damage to the neighborhood, with five nearby homes catching fire and at least 22 people injured.

This is a tragedy that has affected the entire community, and our thoughts are with the families of those who lost their lives and those who were injured.

If you have any information or find debris related to the crash, please email the NTSB at witness@ntsb.gov. Let’s come together as a community to support each other during this difficult time.
