Philadelphia plane crash in residential area captured by Ring video

A Ring doorbell camera has captured the horrifying moment an air ambulance plane crashed into a “high traffic” residential area, starting fires on Friday night (31 January).

The Learjet 55 jet was registered to a medical transport company and was carrying six passengers, including a pediatric patient, Jet Rescue Air Ambulance said.

It crashed near Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, near the Roosevelt Mall, according to officials.

In the Ring video, the plane can be seen careening towards the ground before disappearing behind a row of houses, igniting the night sky with massive flames.

According to the FAA, the flight was only airborne for about 40 seconds after departing from Northeast Philadelphia Airport. It was en route to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.
