Chilling pics inside medevac jet before crash

Chilling images of inside the doomed medical plane that killed six people on board have been released.

Chilling images of inside the doomed medical plane that crashed into a busy Philadelphia neighbourhood on Friday have been released.

Learjet 55 – an American-French business jet – was carrying six people, including a young girl and her mother, when it crashed in Philadelphia after 6pm (Saturday Australian time). The crash happened shortly after departing Northeast Philadelphia Airport to travel to Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.

Everybody onboard the flight was killed in the crash including Valentina Guzman Murillo, 11, who had just received life-saving treatment after spending four months at a hospital in Philadelphia. She and her mother Lizeth Murillo Ozuna were returning home to Mexico.

Jet Rescue Air, the company operating the jet, released three photos of the plane’s interior prior to the fatal crash.

The photos show a stretcher covered in a white sheet and surrounded by various pieces of medical equipment used to track vitals and care for a patient.

Two leather seats are positioned oppostie the stretcher with another two near the foot of the bed.

“Those are the pics of the actual aircraft’s interior. You can see its setup. We call it ‘flying ICU setting,” a company spokesperson told Fox News.

The company also shared an image of a black box similar to the one from the jet that has yet to be recovered from the crash site.

The jet was transporting a young girl that had just received life-saving treatment and was heading home to Mexico. She died alongside her mother and four crew.

“It records the conversations with the pilots at the tower as well as pilots and co-pilots among themselves,” Jet Rescue Air Ambulance said, according to the publication.

“This is what we’re looking for. The plane has an identical box to this. This is not the box from the plane.”

Shai Gold, managing director of corporate strategy and communications for Air Ambulance, previously told ABC 6 news there was “absolutely no indication” of any issues with the plane prior to the crash.

The maintenance records of the airplane were “impeccable” and the company goes by the book, following manufacturer specifications, according to Mr Gold, Fox News reported.

He also added the entire crew – who were Mexican nationals, were also very experienced.

“We pick the best of the best to fly those air ambulances. These are very careful, very seasoned individuals.”

Co-pilot Jesús Juárez was on board the jet.

The incident occurred on a street near Roosevelt Mall with Philadelphia mayor Cherelle Parker among the six people dead, saying at least one other person, who was in a car, had also been killed, and that 19 people had been wounded.

Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Ms Parker warned that the toll was “not etched in stone” and could yet rise.

“We have a lot of unknowns about who was where on the streets of this neighbourhood last night at the time of impact,” the city’s managing director Adam Thiel said on Saturday.

He said the impact area covered four to six blocks, and there was also debris in a “remote area where something happened with the aircraft.” Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum posted her condolences on social media platform X.

The US Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) said it was launching an investigation with the National Transportation Safety Board.

Both agencies are already probing the deadliest US air disaster in almost a quarter century, after a passenger jet operated by an American Airlines subsidiary collided with a Black Hawk helicopter on Wednesday.

The airliner with 64 people on-board was landing at Reagan National Airport in the Washington area – just kilometres from the White House – when it collided with a US Army helicopter on a training mission.
