The president of Mexico has just confirmed that all six victims aboard the medevac plane that crashed in Philadelphia during the evening hours of Friday were all Mexican citizens.
The President shared the tragic news in a recent press conference, during which she mentioned with great regret what had happened.
The consular authorities were currently in permanent contact with loved ones as mentioned in a recent statement on X.
She expressed her condolences and solidarity on the matter and then requested the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to provide support to the victims and loved ones involved in the tragedy.
The plane was said to be carrying home a young girl who received life-saving treatment in the US, her mom, the doctor, the paramedic, the pilot, and the co-pilot.
It’s sad how they all ended up losing their lives in the crash as well and one bystander on the ground was confirmed dead by the mayor. The jet is said to have plummeted outside of the sky after 6pm, less than a minute after it took off from the Northeast Philadelphia Airport, while on its way to Missouri’s Springfield Branson National Airport.
