Probably because he's the Mexican pilot of a Mexican plane.

There was no huge explosion in air. The plane was intact when it hit the ground. Fox News guest now saying mechanical issue probably wing stall when they come down that quick after takeoff

What is the first glow that appears above before the crash?
I think the plane was on fire and/or had explosion before it finally hit.

Why is a Mexican plane transferring a patient from Pennsylvania to Missouri.

Possibly a terrorist/suicide mission in retaliation for tariffs.

They found an oxygen tank or part of tank 1/4 mile from site.

Look at it's flight history. All over Mexico, the US, and even in Haiti just in the last 5 days. It's going to go wherever people pay for transport.

Probably stopping for fuel first. Not sure what the range is on that particular jet.

They don’t know yet. Different cameras give differing impressions.

frick. With that being a pediatric patient, that earlier post about it being an Angel Flight might have been accurate.
I know I just replied to myself, but that just occurred to me. frick.

Yeah I heard that on Fox just now.
When they are doing super slow mo it sure looks like it's on fire before impact.
Now, that could be lights coming through clouds, but to me, it looks on fire.
I could for sure be wrong.

They may have been stopping to refuel . I don't think a LJ55 has the legs to get to say Monterey, Guadalajara, or Mexico City from Philly taking winds aloft and the weight of an outfitted Medevac with 6 on board into account.

Didn’t read this whole thread yet, but my guess is it was an organ recipient flight, and that O2 tank that was found fell over, broke the regulator, and torpedoed out of the plane.

I see fire either coming from the engine in spurts, or in the plane, but definitely 2 separate flame flares onnthe way down.

Maybe, but it could have been a transport. They also operate in the US and even have an office in Miami.
Jet Rescue
Two of their planes are XA-ICU and XA-UCI

That's so crazy to picture. That's like something out of the movies.
