Plane Crash in Pennsylvania

Multiple people were injured in a plane crash in Pennsylvania that took place in a retirement home’s parking lot on Saturday afternoon. The dramatic footage of the aircraft bursting into flames in the parking lot, lined with other vehicles is getting viral all across social media.  

The airplane that crashed was privately owned and had 5 passengers onboard. Immediately after the crash, Medics, Ambulances, and emergency vehicles rushed to the scene to provide assistance and rescue everyone onboard. On Site, investigators revealed that all five onboard survived the fiery accident, however sustained minor to major injuries, but are currently healthy and recovering.  

The accident also caused damage to multiple vehicles, however no one on the ground was hurt from the accident. The accident took place just 2 streets away from the Lancaster Airport, near Brethren Village, about 75 miles west of Philadelphia.  

Some early reports revealed that the aircraft, which was a Beechcraft Bonanza had reported issues before the crash. The air traffic control unit also revealed that the pilot reported an ‘Open Door’ and requested a return for landing. The controller also cleared the plane to land, but the pilot was then instructed urgently to ‘Pull up’, just moments later the aircraft crashed.  

The plane was enroute to Springfield, Ohio and had just taken off from the Lancaster Airport, before it crashed. This incident has marked another major aviation accident that has occurred this year in the USA or the world. This has further strengthened the public concerns about safety in air travel.  

The series of aviation accidents that have been occurring in different parts of the world have not just created a havoc among air travellers regarding travelling through flights, but have also led them to question the airlines of their safety.  

Social media users have also cited their concerns online regarding the series of crashes that are taking place across the world.  

A user named Joe Loveland wrote on Facebook, “It's so good that everyone survived but my goodness what is this like the 30th plane crash this year what the heck's going on I'm actually pretty scared to fly now and I just got over my fear of flying last year.” 

Small craft crash pretty often. These accidents account for the vast majority of aviation deaths,” wrote another user named Miet Xanh.
