According to local news outlet Philly Verbs, witnesses on social media reported seeing an orange flash near Roosevelt Mall, an outdoor shopping center off the boulevard. It’s called Route 1 because it passes through the city before the Bucks County border. Homes surround the shopping center. The plane crashed near the 7200 block of Calvert Street, a residential street, shortly after 6 p.m. Friday, the news site reported.
Meanwhile, officials in Washington DC said on Friday that they had recovered 41 bodies of the 67 people killed in the collision between an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas, and a Black Hawk aircraft on a training flight from a nearby military base. The passenger plane was on its way to land at Reagan Washington National Airport, which handles about 800 flights a day. The plane was carrying 60 passengers and four crew members, while the helicopter carried three US service personnel.
The National Transportation Safety Board, the lead agency investigating the crash, has suspended all helicopter flights over the Potomac River that flows from Reagan Washington National Airport.
