The end of this week was tense for the United States. Just the other day, a helicopter crashed into a passenger plane, and now there is another emergency with an airplane.
The light-engine Learjet 55 air ambulance belonged to the Mexican company Jet Rescue Air Ambulance. The plane was quite old, 43 years old. There were 6 people on board: two pilots, two doctors, a child and his mother. There were no survivors.
At the moment, it is being investigated why the aircraft nosedived right into the parking lot of the local Roosevelt Mall, rammed several cars and crashed into residential buildings, which caught fire after the incident.
A gas pipeline also exploded. The plane's debris is scattered throughout the area. At that time, people were inside the buildings. According to preliminary information, 10 people were injured.
At the moment, rescue services are determining how many people were killed or injured. The exact causes are not yet known. There were oxygen tanks on board, which, as Fox News suggests, could have led to a catastrophe.
