A pediatric patient who received care for a life-threatening illness in the United States was aboard the Learjet 55 that crashed in Philadelphia, according to Shai Gold, spokesman for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance.

The girl, one of six people on the flight, was returing to Tijuana, Mexico. The others on the plane included her mother, a pilot, a copilot, a doctor and a paramedic, Gold said. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance does not believe anyone on the plane survived the crash.

No doubt it had a fire pre-impact after seeing that video. It's also clear at least one of the engines was on, and thrusting. Hence, the high rate of speed on impact. Damn thing looked liked a missile. Those poor people.
