However, a Saturday morning update from the Philadelphia mayor's office confirmed that all six people aboard the plane had died. The statement noted that many people on the ground "in parking lots, on streets, in cars and homes in the area" were injured, but the number of injured people "is yet to be released."

A medical transport jet with a child patient, her mother and four others aboard crashed into a Philadelphia neighborhood shortly after takeoff, exploding in a fireball that engulfed several homes.
