you just heard everybody say get down get down get down and i just saw the plane getting lower and lower and lower the hit a couple of cars and then boom went into the plans a into the dunkin' donuts never seen anything like it. >> a fireball illuminating the sky over philadelphia as a jet crashes into a dense neighborhood near a shopping mall at this time we know six people were on board the plane and there is no word on any survivors it's unclear if anybody on the ground died on board the plane a young girl who just received life-saving treatment. i'm jonathan hunt to live in los angeles it's 9:00 p.m. pacific time. >> kevin corke live in washington with the plane striking both homes and vehicles

in smoldering debris could also be seen over a fairly large area with the mayor urging caution. >> we are asking for prayers and for anybody who is affected as several vehicles were impacted so what are we asking you to do for us right now philadelphia? we urge you to please stay away from the scene. if you see debris call 911 don't touch anything this is still an active seen under investigation when i go live to our fox news correspondent for the latest she is live in philadelphia hello jonathan this is going to be a long night for first responders all the roads behind me are blocked off from where we are at about a quarter-mile away from from where the medical transport

plane crashed just moments after taking off you could probably see the bright flashing lights behind me all the first responders getting settled into the night because the investigation is just getting underway and i was told by a local firefighter that it was a pretty horrific and gruesome scene when first responders arrived i was told there were multiple fatalities everywhere and of course our hearts are with the people of northeast philadelphia impacted by this tragedy even people internationally impacted so the company that owns the plane chet rescue air ambulance tells us that six people on board were for crewmembers and pilot copilot, physician, paramedic at a young girl and her mother. we are told everyone on board was from mexico and the young girl was here to receive life-saving treatment trainer children's fidelity assured this statement saying schreiner children's is heartbroken to confirm one of our pediatric

patients in the child's mother were aboard the jet rescue air ambience the crash in philadelphia this evening. the patient received care and our hearts and prayers go out to the families of those who were lost in the tragic event as well as all the people affected on the ground and where fangled first responders further quick action. they also told fox they have received six patients hurt in the crash although it was unclear if those patients were in the planer people on the ground we are lurking -- working to learn more. the jet company said final destination was tijuana international airport but the flight was going to make a stop for fuel in springfield, missouri. a spokesperson described the pilot and copilot has a very seasoned adding that the jet rescue air ambulance flies 700 missions a year so the images of the crash are just terrific and

we know just after 6:00 p.m. today the plane was captured a rafting into a huge fireball near roosevelt boulevard in philly several homes caught fire and thankfully firefighters were able to get people out of them fires are under control and as i mentioned investigation into how it happened is underway members of the tsp are here and state troopers as well and members of state d.o.t. we also talked about the huge debris field our local fox affiliate reporter says he found oxygen tanks from the air ambulance at least a quarter-mile away from the crash site we are across from the diner where some of the debris broke through windows we were told by a worker in this area that he witnessed some of the debris it a customer inside the store and said the man was injured so in the hours to come we will probably be learning a lot more about people impacted by the tragedy of course not

just people on the plane but people in cars because it happened in rush hour traffic and people who were sitting in nearby restaurants just terrific back to you. >> know you just got unseen there and we thank you for getting there so quickly but there must be a palpable sense of shock and horror among the people there as this was a stunning seem to witness by some any people at rush hour. >> absolutely jonathan we've talked to people still on scene on the ground one man who is going for the mcdonald's drive-through others who were at a nearby shopping center and they are staying around this area just chatting with one another and chatting with first responders and police officers as everybody is trying to decompress from what they saw. there were people who saw a plane crash right in front of them which is traumatic to witness and so there is a collective shock in the

community and you can sense it's a tragedy people want to speak about they want to share what they saw and heard because we were told there was horrific scenes rated after the crash happened. >> absolutely we are grateful to have you they are back to you throughout the night. kevin? >> thank you so much as we are seeing a mix of local, state, and federal partners for more in the government response we turn to our fox news course bond but here we go again. >> reporter: gray to be with you again i was hoping under these circumstances but it's a multilayered government response to the tragedy made many agents working to see and offering resources from local authorities to officials over to state agencies including at least 45's

state troopers and members of the department of transportation the pennsylvania emergency management authority in the department of environmental protection including elected state officials as well as federal agencies and for members of the faa were dispatched and they are posting these details about the crash saying them and t tsp are investigating and they believe the invests they will lead the investigation and provide all updates making clear that they have one person on the ground now and additional team members there's teem members arriving saturday and in a press conference the philadelphia mayor and pennsylvania governor expressed gratitude for unified response. watch. >> in a time when we needed to affirm what the one philadelphia philosophy means which is the time is now and i'm very proud on how our federal, state, and

local partners are working hard to deal with the tragedy. >> it's a unified response to an awful aviation disaster and as awful as it was we also saw the best of philadelphia we saw a neighbor helping neighbor and pennsylvanians looking out for one another president trump and his administration leaders have been in communication with local and state officials offering support including the new secretary of transportation facing his second tragedy in his third day at the job president trump took to true social with this quote so sad to see the plane go down in philadelphia, pennsylvania, more innocent souls lost our people are totally engaged in first responders are being given credit for doing a great job were to follow god bless you all vice president j.d. vance echoed the same sentiments as well

kevin thank you so much over to you. and joining us now is an unlicensed pilot so good to have you with us. and as i look at the video my untrained eye strikes me as extraordinarily steep the dissent was and how fast it was. that indicates that something catastrophic went wrong these planes don't just fall out of the sky with that rainy things so what is it sadie. >> you will read about rate of dissent with the aviation safety database the rate of dissent in the final seconds for the aircraft was 11,000 feet a minute more than 2 miles a

minute and the only let from an altitude of 1600 feet to the final plunge was very quick that is the good news i would say that they didn't have much time to worry about what happened. >> clearly a loss of control accident white happened while that's for them to determine i would go out on a limb and thinking they lost their instruments or misread their instrument somehow i was driving through philadelphia tonight around the time of the crash it was a rainy overcast night in the cloud layer was about 400 feet off the ground according to the official weather reports at the airport to me it seemed lower than that so when they took off they would've been in the clouds almost instantly if they had an instrument failure or dashboard

or panel lights went out and they weren't able to read their instruments it could lead to the kind of situation that we saw also related to that if her some reason they found they were picking up speed or going too fast and operated the controls to quickly you can tear off some of the control services of an airplane just by muscling too much so that could happen so if authorities find tomorrow there is a piece of a horizontal stabilizer or one of the wing flaps or something and somebody's backyard well away from the explosion sight it would tell us a lot about what might have happened here. >> so those scenarios you describe could lead to that kind of sudden dissent which is almost at that right angle there

it's going horizontal then just a furtive cold drop it seems extraordinarily rare to me from for that to happen to any modern aircraft. >> yeah, well there something we call stall and aviation which occurs when the plane exceeds critical angle of attack. so you imagine the wing with a going to the top of the wing has to stay attached to the wing to provide a lift. if they get sick too much of an angle it tangles over the top peels away from the wing no longer providing lift at that point the nose goes down and if you don't adjust quickly and do some other things you have that straightened to the ground dive that we saw tonight i just have

to believe that there was some kind of instrument problem that led to this i heard him give directions to the pilot they were supposed to take off on runaway 24 going right into the wedge it should have been a perfect take off than they were to turn rate around 290 so they were heading were northwest you would expect that because missouri was the destination and then they ended up crashing east of the field where they just took off which tells me they made more than 180-degree turn in the sky and they were somehow lost. i think it's because they had an instrument problem relating problem or maybe both and they didn't know where they were. when you are in the clouds and you can't see lights or get a

sense of what's up and what's down it's easy to lose control unfortunately. >> john it's great to have your expertise on these matters thank you so much for being with us and a reminder of what we know about the people onboard and we were told one of them was a young girl who had been in the u.s. to receive life-saving treatment we are told at shriners hospital onboard with her we believe is a mother and for members of the crew including medical personnel will with this jet rescue company which by the way is based in mexico and the u.s. it was flying as mentioned by brandon missouri on its way back to tijuana in mexico so what we know is there were six people on board at the moment they are

telling us that they don't have any confirmation of any survivors. kevin could he. >> devastating pictures for those following it online and on the air as well we are joined by john anderson. he is a retired pilot from philadelphia. john thank you for your expertise tonight i was most concerned about a possible catastrophic decompression given the trajectory and the angle of the aircraft descending into the ground. your thoughts on that possibility as we look at the pictures. >> thank you for having me and regarding the jeep decompression it is highly unlikely as the airplane would not be pressurized at such an altitude would be pretty much the same as the atmosphere outside if the door blown off or opened the pressure would not of had a decompression?

>> any possibility of the ox -- oxygen tanks could've been moved back? >> that's left to be said in an investigation i believe it to be unlikely. they did find an oxygen tank on the ground so i am very reluctant to stay that as a cause. >> sorry i'll go ahead. i thought john made an interesting point about whether and is definitely a factor as its string of events that would cause or lead up to an accident and the first thing would be the weather and shortly after the accident i checked the weather and it was quite overcast. so they were in the clouds and there was another very interesting factor they will look strongly into and if you

listen to the audio of northeast philadelphia control tower they called them i don't member their callsign glad you mentioned it when we play that i can get your reaction on the other side contact one, two, three four think it 056 more details one to 3.8 medevac surface at the northeast tower you on frequency how to hear this transition at the northeast tower out for philadelphia med 056 philadelphia there you have it

there repeating attempts to contact the aircraft but unsuccessful there very good point the actually need to go back to the beginning of the tape when they clear the airplane for takeoff. as an aviation the two pilots will chain legs will most fly one leg and then the next one the copilot will always sit in the right seed captain in the left seed in the copilot flying every other leg depending and how determined from the right seed and sometimes and generally the captain and copilot will switch seats at different likes and with life in the right seed or the left seed depending on ability and if he's already to put in the left seed they will put them there. done the interesting thing about this is that if you listen.

>> ten seconds buddy. >> they say medevac 1-2-3 then turn the heading to 290 and then cleared for takeoff. the pilot that answered the call he was not driving. he was the actual radioman the other would of been the one manipulating the control and when they took off they went to the clouds and then visit the tower controlled switch them over to talk to departure control which is a different controller contacting philadelphia. >> i will have to leave it there unfortunately as it's a real heartbreak but but i do want to have you back thank you so much for your time. is a difference and answer the second call. more after this

this is breaking news coverage of a terrible plane crash in philadelphia tonight as a jet carrying six people including a young girl leaving the u.s. from mexico for what is being called life-saving medical treatment crashing during rush hour in philadelphia you see the extraordinary pictures of the fireball there caught up in that huge fire on the ground with several vehicles driving on a busy street in philadelphia we also understand a couple of homes were also engulfed in fire we do not have any word or

confirmation according to the company that operated that jet of any survivors from the plane itself as six people were on and you look at the pictures obviously it's hard to believe anybody could have survived the crash. we are we awaiting word in detail of injuries and 80 any fatalities on the groundless bring in former commercial airlines pilot who joins us by phone. we were with you 48 hours ago talking about the crash in d.c. and here we are now talking about another crash and as you saw the videos of this one what do you read into the way the plane hit the ground and the speed on which it was descending in the angle on which it went down 43° it wasn't spinning out

of the philadelphia airport and even though it was 30 or 40 seconds from that dissent exploding in that philadelphia neighborhood and generally seeking it's one of the last things to any pilot does don't care if it's 30 seconds with the mayday and did not do that. and electrical mayors -- failures. and they saw the lights coming down with electrical system must be operating and real mystery ongoing here and i do think it's going to come with the horrendous trash -- crash and

the flight data recorder until we know exactly what happened. >> they almost always do with a great deal of information to come. from looking at the pictures there any evidence to them that there might have been some explosion could that have had anything to do with this? if there was an explosion on board. but if there were an explosion on board it would be remote from the crash there and as stated with that video just watching it coming down in the aircraft it appeared to me there wasn't much of a spin and there wasn't much explosion on a jet like that basically you take the wing off and the tail off. do serious damage to the aircraft.

a peculiar thing i looked for his here's a note which is really surprising to me with a check on that jet and if not properly set can kill you within seconds excuse the lack of tact here but it's a fact. >> what does that mean to a layman like me? >> that type of check does involve the flight control system. if you're in aircraft that has issues on takeoff what we can do is pull that nose up right through the stall and along with its normal stall recovery or prevention you go through the

stall like think of that crash in buffalo there was a pusher and that is a awkward maneuver so if that trim is out it's a nose up trim the aircraft on takeoff is one of the things that would happen. it's a surprising bit and fascinating insight as always. kevin? and we continue our breaking news coverage of the devastating air crash in philadelphia with six people on board and the pictures are incredible. here's more

34 minutes after the hour we continue our coverage on the fox news channel with stevie cotten joining us right now as we look to figure out what happened. and we've been talking to witnesses of the plane crash and one man said he felt like it was an earthquake we also had a chance to speak with the company owning the medical transport plane called jet rescue air ambulance telling us six people were on board to include four crew members and the young girl and her mother were told everybody on board was from mexico and the young girl was here to receive life saving treatment. shriners children's philadelphia says they were receiving treatment at this hospital releasing a statement saying in part shriners children's is heartbroken to confirm one of our pediatric patience and the child's mother were aboard the jet rescue air ambulance and the

university hospital also told fox it received six patience her in the crash although it wasn't clear if they were in the plane or those on the ground. the company told us the final destination was tijuana international but the flight would make a stop for fuel in springfield. a spokesperson described to both the pilot and copilot as very seasoned adding it flies about 700 missions a year. so philadelphia rather the pennsylvania governor josh shapiro said he knows the impact will be significant let's listen to what he had to say. >> there will be loss in this region so we want to offer our thoughts and serious prayers for those grieving at this moment.

the mayor knows and i want you all to know the commonwealth of pennsylvania does pennsylvania stands firmly with our partners in the city and we will be out here on scene and continue to monitor the developments. the big question is what went wrong about 40 9° on the plane took off a light fog with wind gusts 39 miles per hour my dad's a private pilot so that's not the worst condition to fly in so the big question is how did it happen back to you. >> no question and i think a lot of people are quite curious over the angle and the speed as to which the aircraft struck the ground. a lot of questions out there as the search for answers continues. >> kevin first responders as they always do rushed on scene priority of course being to save lives triaging the injured they found on the ground in the wake

of this terrible crash joining us not to take a look at the work of these heroes and with the first responder great to have you with us and tell us from your extent of experience what goes for the mind of first responders when you get to an extraordinary scene like that. presumably it's about saving lives that they can say when they hit the ground and i think initially when you get the call and you hear of plane crash you take a second look there and you wonder if you hear that and then your adrenaline builds in training kicks in responding to the senior sizing up and do with the philadelphia fire department and first responders they issued what's called a mass casualty

incident and they organized the chaos that there incident command is how they train and they get sectors established and really respond to what's needed from a fire standpoint and an emergency medical standpoint and coordinating external resources needed there so they have several different things going on at once with search and rescue of the plane crash popping up and other residences and structure with shrapnel out there and those things coming together in the organized chaos of their and with the level 1 trauma centers in the area and some medics will form a casualty collection and from there they can triage the patient's at

least the most serious ones first and a lot of moving parts of their expedite life-saving measures and you've also got the not easy task i imagine of securing a huge crash scene there you are in the middle of a busy city had a busy time of night in that city and you've got debris over a pretty wide area not an easy thing to do to secure that. >> nodded also each of those places were a peace might be recovered it's an individual scene that will have to be secured for the national transportation safety board coming in generally in these incidents the philadelphia field offices response team will likely join their as an mou to collect those pieces and be a multiplier there as they we are

a robust agency they know what they are doing and experienced working with them with the case up in the potomac as well so it's interesting because now these cases within 48 hours we seen her first responders do their jobs a little bit differently and we now know how it happened now the question is how did it happen in philadelphia that's the question with the investigators having to look at in a timely way. hope you stay with us over the next couple hours as we continue the coverage here thank you so much. kevin? and a quick timeout as we continue our coverage on the fox news channel as a search for answers continues in philadelphia. there's also quite a bit of damage on the ground with structures damaged and have any people may have been seriously injured as a result of the crash we continue to talk about that

25 minutes after the hour officials investigating the aftermath of a crash in northeast philadelphia and joining us now is grant anderson a former retired captain and helicopter pilot great to have you with us i do want to run something by you that one of our guests made a interesting point about as we were up against the heartbreaks i wanted to give you a chance to help me unpack it a bit. they were talking about the idea that a second pilot answer the second call to get them to switch to a different controller. that's curious to me so what do you make of that if at all anything? >> great to be with you on a tough night and i do think it does show both pilots were involved and it is true when pilot typically monitors radios

but sometimes it can be busy in the cockpit as folks are taking off so the other pilot was in the middle of doing something they could just jump in and make the radio call so i wouldn't necessarily read a ton into that but certainly a piece of this puzzle as it gets put together and look at what they are doing in this crazy flight that lasted for a few minutes as discussed. i would carefully also look at the video and i see flames before it strikes the ground maybe that's my impression. again i'm no licensed pilot i know stuff about these types of things and when you see that what does it say to you? >> i see that welland knight is tough where it's moving through the air quickly there is moisture in the atmosphere so different things can cause a glow but i do agree there.

one of the things that were going to be looking at is the maintenance history on this airplane. there was talk earlier tonight and of may be some maintenance challenges they've had in the past with an airplane overrunning a runway. that could be looked at for a potential history but i would point out it did land earlier in the day a few hours before from miami the day before that it had been flying through the caribbean and then from albuquerque before that so it's been moving around the country for quite some time before the incident occurred. it is one of those things were maintenance gets put off getting to tijuana and get the child home certainly understandable but with corners cut on maintenance between that perhaps i think that is something that could be important for investigators to look at and what the history was for that particular aircraft one of the things that could have been

fixed when there is urgency to get somebody home sometimes corners get cut and that is something investigators want to look at in this situation. great stuff is always from grant anderson former retired army captain going to guest longbows or apaches or something great to have you with us. thank you so much. jonathan over to you. kevin second tragic air crash in as many days a jet plunging to the ground in philadelphia with six people on board and casualties on the ground as well. more coverage straight ahead. >> ♪ ♪ join thousands of advertisers who have built their businesses, reaching america's most influential audience. need creative? we can help. fox news media impact starts here. advertise with us today.

and continuing our coverage of a tragic air crash in philadelphia as a fireball or updated as a jet slammed into the ground six people including a young girl who is a patient on board as well as casualties on the ground. here is more with an aviation consultant and a former nasa pilot with the department of homeland security and traffic control and as you look at the is extraordinary pictures it's early going obviously but what do you read into what happened

there? i think it's a very major malfunction there right shortly after and it looked like the plain diverted and hit the ground and one of the things because of the altitude when it happened we had heard rapid depressurization and, yeah. >> what kind of major malfunction are you talking about what do you believe it? >> it looked like he was pointing towards flight controls whether it was a runaway trim and win the speed changes rate near climbing out trying to balance the flight controls and

with the trim on the yoke on the control wheel you need to constantly trim that as you are flying around so what we call runaway trim with that attitude it just continues to pull the nose of the aircraft up as you're flying down. >> and that could lead to the rapid descent we see in this video. >> it would go high-end in the plane would still invert and hit the ground. and with a going from the nose to the tail which is a possibility. so very experienced crew and

they would have trained for that in the flight simulation many times. they would reduce the fraud owe and regain control of the airplane. so really catching them off guard. we are a little tight for time but we thank you for expertise tonight as we continue our coverage on this extraordinary talk. a wide variety of experts joining us is that continues as we go to our next hour of coverage on fox news channel. devastation in philadelphia we learn more and we hope to bring you back
