NE Philly airport is a small airport, separate from Philadelphia Intl which is in South Philly

can we spoiler tag this. not to backseat mod, just extremely distressing

is this rate the airspeed, or purely vertical descent? If the latter, you could pretty reliably calculate actual airspeed from this value + the angle of attack with some trigonometry math
willow rivet
Warning if you're looking into this
There is a video on twitter that appears to show someone (likely a civilian) walking away from the impact area__ on fire __after the accident, Not sharing for obvious reasons.

does anyone have relevant timestamps in this clip?

does anyone have relevant timestamps in this clip?
Pretty much the first half or so of the clip pertains to the flight - most of the back half is discussing NE Philly airport closed, and flights being diverted. By about 18 mins left (since the time counts down), the ATC is saying they have an aircraft lost.
winter laurel
Around 26, 25 minutes, you can still hear ATC and the medevac pilot on radio
willow rivet
Reports of "multiple injured" at nearby hospitals relating to this incident per fire chief
winter laurel
Around 24:25 ATC starts trying to contact the medevac and they can’t seem to get them
By 21, they are saying there’s an issue at NE Philly

okay yeah I got to that point

is there an explosion before impact
bright jolt
In this audio recording the NE tower contacts Medevac at roughly 01:00, 04:12, 04:39, 06:24, 07:21, 07:21, 07:50, and 07:54.
At 09:01 another aircraft asks, “what’s going on down there”. The tower responds “We have a lost aircraft. We’re not exactly sure what happened, so we’re trying to figure it out. For now, the field is going to be closed, so no inbounds and outbounds, probably".

There is a video of someone’s door cam in the reporter video via this link and in it, it appears that the plane might have already been on fire when it fell from the sky

Just to note, the flight path here seems to be correct but ADS-B data suggests they did land, thus the assumption about an aborted landing is false - they made it down, then took off some time later - but otherwise the above path seems correct

Ok that’s it I gotta log off. When it’s kids, I can’t really handle it.

Always keep your mental health in check, incidents involving kids are always the most fucked ones to cover.
All onboard reported to be Mexican Nationals per NBC (said on air)
Patient was receiving lifesaving treatment, funded via a charity

New post footage- you can hear people yelling "Get down" near the filmer- someone on fire was likely on this side of the impact.

The most extreme censoring possible for this- fully blacked out, location of the body that was thrown.
There are videos recorded looking at the flames directly next to this building, (They likely had no idea there was a body above them)

But yeah this is missing that valve.
Yeah, for anyone who hasn't seen a tank go off before... the slightly larger acetylene and oxygen tanks we use in welding and cutting (but essentially the same thing) will easily go through multiple cinderblock walls and sometimes concrete walls reinforced with rebar. Gas under that much pressure is unbelievably energetic.

The sidewalk was ripped up somewhat. Extremely violent impact.

Considering the black box is a metalic box with recording systems inside it (yea im oversimplifying it), im not shocked it went deep
willow rivet
..given the state of.. everything else- I would reluctantly agree in saying that the black box is in relatively better condition than i'd assume it'd be in.
