In a statement, President Donald Trump said his administration was "totally engaged".
We're ready to call it DEI... all we need is one woman or minority pilot or Controller. We're also ready to say it's common sense to blame DEI if there aren't any.
Some crazy footage coming out, just such a massive explosion as the plane had just taken off and was full of fuel:

Aftermath of a small plane crashing in Philadelphia this evening
Dude the 2nd and 4th videos were fucking nuts. Holy shit.
I can't imagine being in the shoes of the people that were just walking out of their friends door after dinner, heard that shit coming, and then turned around and saw that.
Walking through the aftermath must have been surreal. Hearing everyone responding with, "I don't know what the fuck happened" really hit.
I live about ten miles from here, closer to center city Philly. So, a few of my relatives who evidently lack any ability to look at a map were asking if I was okay and sending me info before I heard about it.
What’s so nuts about this is the missile-like trajectory of this aircraft. Even more than 9/11, this relatively tiny incident feels more like what so many other countries experience so frequently.
