What a nightmare. The crashed plane is reported to be an air ambulance—and multiple homes and cars are said to be on fire on the ground. (This is in NE Philly, near the Roosevelt Mall.)

I should really update the logo. The U-matic videotape of a telecine of an old internal training film I always copy it from is getting worn out.
