A young pediatric patient who had just undergone a life -saving medical treatment in the US finally went home to Mexico on the Learjet 55 Air Ambulance that crashed into a fiery explosion in northeastern Philadelphia on Friday evening.
The plane, managed by Jet Rescue Air ambulance, was on its way to Tijuana, Mexico with a stop on Springfield-Branson National Airport in Missouri.
The plane had just left the airport of Noordoost -Philadelphia when it killed six in a densely populated neighborhood.
The crash place, near Cottman Avenue and Roosevelt Boulevard, was quickly flooded in flames, caught with buildings and vehicles in the Inferno.
Shai Gold, a spokesperson for Jet Rescue Air Ambulance, confirmed the heartbreaking news and explained how the young girl had fought tirelessly to survive her illness.
“She took care of her. She went home, “Gold said. “She fought a lot to survive, and unfortunately, this tragedy on their way home.”
On board the fatal flight, the girl's mother, a pilot, a co-pilot, a doctor and a paramedic, who each had committed himself to guaranteeing the child's safe return. But in a cruel turn of fate, the journey ended in a disaster.
The LearJet 55, often used for critical medical transport, is a life line for patients such as the young girl who was on board.

With sponsorship of a charity of third parties, the girls had traveled to the US for urgent medical care that had given her another chance of life.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have started an investigation into the cause of the crash.
The destruction was immediately, with first response racing to the stage near Roosevelt Mall while smoke plumes filled the evening sky.
The Philadelphia Office of Emergency Management stated a 'large incident' and urged residents to avoid the area while firefighters fought against the intense flames.
Pennsylvania -Governor Josh Shapiro expressed his participation on social media and assured the public that all necessary resources were deployed.
“We offer all means when emergency services respond to the small private airplane crash in northeastern Philly,” he wrote. “We continue to provide updates as more information is available.”
The crash comes only a few days after another catastrophic air disaster, in which a passenger beam and military helicopter clashed in the Reagan National Airport of Washington and killed 67 people – the most deadlike aviation accident in the United States in almost 25 years.
