- The National Transportation Safety Board released new video footage this week offering additional angles of the January 31, 2025, medical jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia that killed eight people.

- NTSB investigators have not determined the exact cause of the accident while reviewing more than 1,500 pages of factual data, including records that four company planes flew under FAA supervision.
