BREAKING: New Footage of Philly Plane Crash Is Absolutely Horrific – Looks More Like a Missile Impact! – Defiant America
A devastating tragedy struck Philadelphia on Friday evening when a medical transport jet carrying six people, including a child patient and her mother,
I'm no pilot but I've always assumed with those big wings that planes kind of glided for a while before crash belly landing. That looks like a high speed nose dive.
Almost like it was aimed at the ground...
Yes. It would take a catastrophic failure of the plane or sabotage for that to happen. Losing an engine can be overcome.
Correct.
The thing that still strikes me is just how fast that plane was going. My first thought was that the plane was still powered, not crippled and falling unpowered out of the sky.
Except for that blinking white light on the wingtip...
Retired Commercial Airline Pilot here. Glide ratio for a jet aircraft is about 2 to 1. Meaning at 10000 feet you should get 20 miles give or take. That aircraft was on a very very steep descent which tells me the Pilots did not have control of the aircraft and they were unfortunately along for the ride. Sad.............

Plane was registered in Mexico carrying Mexican passengers
This is the company that owned and operated the plane. They were flying back to Mexico with a planned stop in Missouri: https://www.jetrescueairambulance.com/
