Why would a Mexican medical jet be in Philadelphia? Do they transport (presumably wealthy) folks to American cities with superior healthcare options? I'm not questioning this in a conspiracy theory way, I just don't really understand the logistics.

That fairly close video actually made the explosion look smaller than the far-away ones.

Needed a lot of fuel to get from Philly to Springfield Missouri.

It's just where the plane is registered. Doesn't mean anything really. Company is based out of Florida and do Angel Flights all in North America and the Caribbean.

Pressurization loss? Pilots Ko'd, ended up in death spiral. No inputs, all the way to the ground, power settings at cruise or climb power the reason for speed at impact. I don't know the ATC in the area, but going back to ATC archives to that center at that time may be of interest.

I shouldn't have laughed out loud but I did.

Don't think they had enough time to get to altitude. Plane wasn't airborne very long. Probably wasn't above 10,000 feet yet, so pilots wouldn't have needed oxygen yet for loss of pressure. They were most likely climb power. Aircraft was 43 years old but I bet well maintained.

Don't know their operation but looking at this planes flight history', just this week it's been from Mexico to Tuscon to Santa Ana California back to Tuscon then Phoenix, back to Mexico then to Albuquerque on to Fort Lauderdale, Port Au Prince Haiti, back to Florida, went from Florida to Philly today. This flight was headed for Springfield Missouri and then on to Mexico later tonight.
That's all since Monday.

Doubt that it was that, the airport it had just left was just a mile or two away. Know that area well.

Gotcha, thanks.
Someone recorded a guy walking away from the blast on fire, almost calmly. He's not totally engulfed, but it's a good bit of fire around his shoulders. I'd imagine that a jetfuel based fire is probably tricky to put out.

Clearly a DEI pilot

Not sure what's worse, your post or the up votes that some people gave you. Probably the two votes were yourself and your boyfriend.
