Monday's crash comes in the wake of a deadly medical jet crash near Roosevelt Mall in Northeast Philadelphia on Jan. 31. Seven people were killed, including the six on board the Learjet 55 and one person who was in a car at the crash site. At least 24 people were injured as a result of the crash and explosion, which also caused damage to 343 homes in the surrounding area. The crash is being investigated by the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board.
