you just heard pete mentioned two casualties on board. we don't know about casualties on the ground. um, you just don't know. you see these fires raging? you know, it's a crowded area, but we just don't know what we don't know right now. nonetheless, it is pretty stunning to see these images. and as you can see right now that common foods. right. it's just to give the point, this is a busy commercial area. >> it is. and it's also a reminder, you know, we've been talking about for the last two days that commercial aviation passenger service, aviation had reached a very safe level, probably the safest, you know, the last, you know, ten, 15 years is very safe. but but while all that is true, general aviation, on demand, aviation, there are still many accidents, many casualties every year, many risks. and so this will be while it's not a huge disastrous event, as we've seen in washington dc, the ntsb, and in a small plane, sometimes the faa needs to make recommendations and do an investigation, and they will. >> right. and brad, we don't know

we know two people were on board according to fox 29 and now this news just in. at least six people are known to be dead, whether they got died on the ground from debris that fell from the sky. we are not sure, obviously. it doesn't seem as though the plane hit anything, unlike what we witnessed over in washington. they are still trying to figure out. but now we have this incident. and nothing but questions. but, certainly it's anything but settle -- will things are anything but under control because you see these fires burning everywhere. kyle, you are on the ground. if you get any more information, if you get closer, of course, be safe. but please let our producers know and come back on the air. meanwhile, joining us to help put this in perspective from what we know are two experts brian handers a former helicopter pilot. he was going to be talking about what is happening by reagan airport along with don a retired colonel u.s. air force expert on unaircraft systems. what's your reaction to the news and as you see the video we saw from the ring doorbell to the li

i don't know if the passenger was on board or not. usually it is, uh, because they said there was six people on takeoffs, so i would think that that's the, uh, the medical crew and the two pilots flying the aircraft. you can fly this aircraft with one pilot, but it has to be modified to do so. but in this case, when they're flying passengers, medical passengers, there's typically two. so the copilot does the walk around and makes sure that that happens. they supervise the fueling. they check the fueling at the end of it as part of their checklist to make sure that the the volumes in the tanks are proper. so, you know, it's it's way too speculative of me to actually say that that's what caused this. but i just know from my experience of working on this airplane and the various things that we watch for in that airplane, very specifically to that model, those are some of the cautions that we caution pilots about when they fly these aircraft. and during training for a learjet, we caution them about that. but, um, i can't think of anything

but what we can tell you is, again, there were six people on board. it was a medical aircraft headed to springfield, missouri. of those six people, there were four crew members, two passengers. one of those passengers, a small child. and so, again, this is an area, as you can see, that has been cordoned off. this is so all of those investigators that are here now, we're talking to the faa, we're talking ntsb, in addition to philly fire and police who are here on the scene as well. the area has been cordoned off so investigators can get to the task of doing what they need to do. the debris has been spread over a wide area, and so what needs to happen next is these investigators, in addition to trying to find out what happened, is they've got to come in here, pick up every single piece or as many pieces as they can of the aircraft, put it back together. and so what they're asking residents to do is if they see any pieces of the aircraft not to touch anything, to call 911 immediately so they can get out there and do what they need to do. but again, this i

a medical transport jet with six people on board, one of them just a child, crashed just moments after takeoff. a nearby ring camera recorded the moment of impact and we do want to warn you, it is difficult to watch. you can see what was really a huge explosion after the plane hit the ground. several homes caught on fire after that explosion. at least six people on the ground were hurt according to a local hospital. one witness described the impact. >> when everybody said get down, we all get down, but i just see the plane is getting lower and lower and lower. it nipped a house. when it nipped the house, it hit a couple cars, boom! into the plaza, into the dunkin' donuts, everywhere. i've never seen nothing like that a day in my life. i have never seen nothing like that. >> so the plane was heading to missouri before its final destination in mexico where all six people on board were from. the child had just finished treatment at shriners children's philadelphia hospital and was on her way home. the company operating the jet said it could not confirm any survivors at this time. obviousl

and i'd really like clarity as to whether there were two people on board or six people on board. the minimum complement for a learjet is two, which means you'd have to be your pilot or copilot. if there were more than that. that means there were possibly passengers, possibly somebody being medivaced, possibly medical personnel. unclear why we don't have that information at the moment, but the range of that plane is about 2500 miles. that's a thousand and a half miles longer than the proposed trip. the trip was to missouri, which means that the plane was probably half filled with fuel. you generally don't want to travel with more fuel than you need for your trip, because you're just carrying extra weight. that's the good news. the bad news is, 1000 miles worth of jet fuel is a lot of fuel. and when that plane went down, what you end up having the number one thing when your plane's going down, the number of things that every pilot is trained to do when your plane is going down, turning off the engines and turning off the fuel is one of the main ones to prevent a fire. because you c

and perhaps voice recordings from on board will answer some of those questions. we also know that on air control, air traffic audio from the night of the collision, controllers asked the pilots on that black hawk if they could see the american airlines flight because they had to pass behind it. and you can hear on that audio, the personnel that was on the helicopter give a verbal confirmation. the question is, were they looking at lights from a different aircraft? what exactly was the point of confusion there? hopefully, again, those voice recordings can answer some of those questions as to what exactly was going on. as for the salvage operation that is happening today, boris, you can see there is a massive crane in the potomac. they are currently pulling out the wreckage. big pieces of the plane, because they are still searching for 12 of those 67 victims who died in the crash, who have not yet been recovered and identified, 28 of those, 67 were members of the u.s. figure skating community. some of them were children. we're learning more about their stories, lear

there were two people on board that aircraft. ld-branson national airport in missouri. that is according to the faa. and just to continue on what you're saying, ali, because what we're looking at here is not just the, the, the flames but also the smoke. and i can only imagine how toxic that smoke is from jet fuel, especially since, as you said, this plane had just taken off. that means it was full of fuel. and so i'm wondering, you know, this, that those houses look really, really close. and the danger to people there not just from potential fire, but also from smoke. >> and the threat of fire as we watched in los angeles. right when you're when you're in an urban area and homes are very, very close together, there's all these sort of fantasies about how you make sure that that home fires don't spread to other places by having brush. that's not too clear to your, you know, close to your house and 100ft and 200ft. that's not how it works in a place like northeast philadelphia. these are heavily populated areas. homes are very, very

at this point we can confirm there were six souls on board the plane that crashed on cottman avenue lastpediatric patient, their mother and a four-person flight crew. this was a medical transport plane that took off from our nearby northeast philadelphia airport and it was only afloat for a very short period of time before something went terribly wrong and it crashed. the aircraft, a lear jet 55, it was en route to missouri, according to our federal aviation administration. i want to be very clear that the city of philadelphia, we mourn their loss and they are in our thoughts and in our prayers. we can also confirm that at least one other person perrished in this tragedy and this individual was in a car. we can confirm that there are also a number of other victims who were injured in this incident and they are being treated at air hospitals and thus far, our count is that there are 19 injured victims, but again, this is not etched in stone. the investigation is ongoing. investigators are pouring over the crash site right now, further updates will be provided as soon as they are available

the associated press putting out a report that just one air traffic controller was doing the jobs of 2 people. the ntsb board member couldn't confirm how many people were working. but he did say near traffic controller on duty has been interviewed and that that interview is ongoing. >> and that was marielle carbone reporting for us tonight from washington. >> we certainly have seen the deterioration of federal hiring standards. >> tonight, the white house is getting more pushback from some about the president's claims that diversity, equity and inclusion dei had a role in the deadly crash without evidence. the president claim dei initiatives led to the hiring of an qualified people. he has since signed a memo ordering the aviation sector to end dei practices. democrats have called the claims disgusting when so much is still unknown about what actually led to the crash. but the trump administration is doubling down. >> when you are flying on an airplane with your loved ones, which every one of us in this room has. do you pray that your plane lands safely and get you to your destination or do you pray that the
