On January 31, 2025, a Learjet 55 medical transport crashed in northeast Philadelphia after take off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport, killing a pediatric patient, 2 doctors, 2 pilots, and a family member.

This tragic incident occurred just 2 days after, an American Airlines jet collided with a military helicopter near Washington, D.C. where 67 individuals lost their lives on January 29, 2025.

And 24 years after the deadliest US air disaster on November 12, 2001, when an Airbus A300-600 operated by American Airlines Flight 587 crashed in Belle Harbor, Queens, New York shortly after takeoff from JFK Airport. The crash resulted in the deaths of all 251 passengers and 9 crew members onboard, as well as 5 individuals on the ground.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released a preliminary report on the January 31 crash of a medical transport Learjet 55 in Northeast Philadelphia, which killed seven people, including six onboard and one on the ground. The crash also injured at least 24 others and caused significant damage to homes and businesses in the area, with a debris field spanning 1,410 feet.

The cockpit voice recorder (CVR), recovered eight feet underground, was found to have not recorded the flight and had likely not been functioning for several years. The plane descended at a 45-degree angle and impacted at 278 mph on Cottman Avenue. The crew made no distress calls to air traffic control during the flight, which lasted less than a minute before the crash.

The plane was en route from Northeast Philadelphia Airport to Springfield, Missouri, and ultimately to Tijuana, Mexico. Among the victims were an 11-year-old pediatric patient, Valentina Guzmán Murillo, who had received treatment at Shriners Children's Hospital, her mother Lizeth Murillo Ozuna, and four Jet Rescue Air Ambulance crew members, all from Mexico. The crash also killed Steven Dreuitt, a 37-year-old man in a car on the ground, and severely injured his 9-year-old son.
