Three people injured on the ground when a jet crashed in a busy Philadelphia neighborhood, killing seven people, remain in critical condition, Mayor Cherelle Parker said Sunday.
Parker said 22 people were injured and five of them remain hospitalized. At least 11 homes were significantly damaged, along with some businesses.
“Our city continues to mourn their loss and they are in our thoughts are prayers,” Parker said of the deceased victims.
A Mexico-bound air ambulance plummeted to the ground Friday evening, less than a minute after it had taken off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport with six people on board, including a girl who had spent months being treated at a city hospital.
One of the deceased was killed inside a car as debris from the Learjet 55 crash exploded into the neighborhood, damaging nearby homes.
