Seven dead, 19 injured in air ambulance crash in Philadelphia
Authorities sifted through burned cars and charred debris Saturday to gather clues that might explain why an air ambulance exploded into a fiery ball as it crashed to the ground in Philadelphia, leaving no survivors on board.
The small plane carrying six people, including a child who had just undergone treatment at a hospital, crashed onto a busy intersection just after takeoff from the small Northeast Philadelphia Airport.
Authorities couldn’t say why the jet crashed and Adam Thiel, the city's managing director, said it could be days - or more - until authorities are able to confirm the number of dead and injured.
As of Saturday morning, officials confirmed seven dead - six on the jet, one person on the ground - and 19 injured.
