Audio from an air traffic control service tower at Northeast Philadelphia Airport discloses the terrible minutes prior to a clinical rescue airplane collapsed in Philadelphia Friday evening while carrying a pediatric individual.
The sound, acquired by Fox News Digital, was taped minutes prior to the airplane removed. Operators can be listened to talking as they frantically attempted to reach the Learjet 55 prior to it collapsed.
“What’s going on down there?” one air web traffic controller can be listened to stating.
“We have a lost aircraft. We’re not exactly sure what happened. So, we’re trying to figure it out,” responds one more air web traffic controller. “The field is going to be closed so no inbounds-outbounds.”

DC AIRCRAFT COLLISION LIKELY ‘COMBINATION’ OF FACTORS, ‘LUCKY’ THERE HAVEN’T BEEN EVEN MORE AIR ACCIDENTS: LAWYER
John Anderson, a retired pilot from Philadelphia, informed Fox News Digital that, based upon the video clip of the collision and the means the airplane struck the ground, the most likely reason was a departure delay.
“The plane was out of the crew’s control. It was not controlled flight into terrain (CFIT). May have been a mechanical malfunction of the stabilizer, elevator, trim or even a load shift rearward within the cabin,” Anderson stated.
He better hypothesized that if “it was a medical flight with a stretcher on board and the stretcher was not properly secured, it may have rolled rearward.”

“This would cause the nose to raise and stall the wing. In that case, the nose will drop with the angle in the video,” he stated. “Because it was right after takeoff and the initial climb, I would say it was likely aswing stall. There could be a number of factors that would cause a stall. Could have been a runaway trim, malfunctioning stabilizer.”
