In the evening of January 31, a plane crash occurred in Philadelphia with the participation of an ambulance plane that fell when departing from the airfield: American media report that rescuers found the body of the seventh victim. The man was in a car next to the place of the aircraft falling, which happened near the houses and the local shopping center. This became known from the sources of AP News.

Immediately after the fall, appropriate services arrived at the place - ambulance, firefighters, rescuers and police. Many houses and cars nearby were destroyed and burned to the ground. When examining one burned car, the investigators managed to stumble upon the body of the seventh victim of a plane crash. Obviously, the car burned out from the aviation fuel, which caused a fire when falling.

All passengers of a small emergency jet aircraft that were on board, as well as crew members also died. Among the dead passengers was a child - a girl who had just passed the course of treatment at the local medical center Shriners Children's Philadelphia. She was accompanied by a mother, who also died.

AP News also reported that the number of victims may increase as a result of the disaster, because the search and counting of the dead and the wounded is still ongoing. The search is complicated due to the fact that the area where the tragedy happened is densely populated and crowded.

At the same time, the authorities do not yet voice the reasons why the plane crash happened: now there is an investigation. It is only known that the plane fell immediately after departure from the north-eastern Philadelphia.

Local authorities assure that they will be able to report the reasons for the aircraft falling in a few days or even more.

Recall that the plane was heading to the Springfield-Brenon National Airport, which in Missouri. The incident occurred around 18:30 local time, as Focus reported on February 1.

This incident was preceded by a large -scale plane crash in Washington, when a passenger plane ran into a US Army helicopter. There were about 60 passengers on board, as a result of the disaster there are dead and wounded. Details were reported by Focus January 30.
