Welcome back to NewsNation Now and to the Philadelphia jet crash. A second plane this week falling from the sky on Friday night and right into a neighborhood. NewsNation's Mills Hayes live at the scene there. Mills, what more do we know?

2
00:00:13,660 --> 00:00:22,180
Hey, Adriana. Well, there is still a very active investigation. We actually just heard from the National Transportation Safety Board who is leading this investigation.

3
00:00:22,180 --> 00:00:33,980
They say that they're classifying this as an accident as of now, but they're still trying to figure out what exactly took place because we know that this plane went off around 6.06 at night.

4
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:42,040
So it was dark outside whenever it took off and then it went up into the air, went right and then a little bit to the left and then crashed.

5
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:52,680
They say that this flight lasted less than a minute. And some of those videos that we've seen show that explosion of wind, that plane crashed into that commercial and residential area.

6
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:59,580
We're in a very populated area outside of Philadelphia. There's a mall and lots of different fast food restaurants as well.

7
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:07,940
And so when this happened, it crashed onto this area and we know that the six people on board, those people have passed away.

8
00:01:07,940 --> 00:01:17,440
We also know that at least one person that was in their car, driving their car on the roads here in Northeast Philadelphia when that happened, they also have passed away.

9
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:25,680
Now, we also know that the NTSB is in charge of this and they're also looking for the cockpit recorder.

10
00:01:25,860 --> 00:01:34,280
They've been able to locate the two engines of the plane, but they're still looking for that recorder to try to figure out if there's any kind of evidence that they can gain from that.

11
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:45,260
And as far as the communication with air traffic controller goes, the last communication that they were able to have with the plane was air traffic controller asking them if they could hear them.

12
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:50,020
And they never heard a response. And then ultimately we did see that crash happen.

13
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,540
But again, they're classifying this as an accident as of now.

14
00:01:53,540 --> 00:02:00,960
But the people that we spoke with that were on the ground when it happened described to us a very loud noise, flashing light.

15
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,700
It was so bright that it almost looked like it was day outside.

16
00:02:04,860 --> 00:02:07,180
So a lot of people shaking up here on the ground.

17
00:02:07,180 --> 00:02:11,500
But we do know that the six people that were in the plane crash were all from Mexico.

18
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:18,120
At least one patient and that patient's mom from Shriners Children's Hospital in Philadelphia were on board there.

19
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:27,520
There was a patient that was receiving life-saving care, was leaving the Philadelphia airport on to Missouri and then on to Tijuana.

20
00:02:27,700 --> 00:02:29,500
Ultimately did not make it there, though.

21
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,820
But again, this investigation is still very active at the moment.

22
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:40,040
And they are asking the National Transportation Safety Board for anyone, if they see any debris around the area, to immediately call it in.

23
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,620
Because they are very serious about trying to find that cockpit recorder right now, Adrienne.
