A medical transport jet carrying a child patient and five others crashed near a shopping mall in Philadelphia, exploding into a fireball that engulfed multiple homes. The aircraft, operated by Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, had taken off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport before disappearing from radar. The company could not confirm survivors. "Our immediate concern is for the victims and their families," a spokesperson said. US President Donald Trump expressed condolences, calling it a "sad tragedy." Emergency crews are on-site, and roads near Roosevelt Mall remain closed. Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash.
