A plane crashed in a residential area of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, just after 6 p.m. on Jan. 31, according to reports and video posted on social media, with the incident leaving homes and cars in flames, and multiple casualties.
The plane crashed somewhere in the area of Roosevelt Boulevard and Cottman Avenue in northeast Philadelphia, according to local media WPVI-TV, which reported that the aircraft possibly hit several buildings and cars.
Video shared on social media shows the plane streaking toward the ground before a massive explosion lights up the evening sky.
Other footage shows black smoke billowing from what appears to be burning plane wreckage on a city street, with debris littering the ground and stunned onlookers on the street.
Another video shows police cordoning off the scene as firefighters deal with multiple fires.
The crash occurred just days after an American Airlines passenger plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter collided midair near Reagan National Airport, resulting in 67 fatalities.
