43 years old. Looks like an international air ambulance. All onboard appear to have perished, unclear how many bystanders below injured/killed. 🙏
Matt Blaze@ai6yr Police said two on board, which sounds like crew only.

Baro. Altitude: ▼ 675 ft
WGS84 altitude: 375 ft
Vert. Rate: -11008 ft/min
Track: 173.4°

That rate of descent is something.
Climate Jenny 2.1@ai6yr Could you see who owned the jet?
@ClimateJenny "Jet Rescue Air Ambulance " - air ambulance company.
@ai6yr Looks like they had enough control to try to go down in the parking lot rather than hitting a building directly. But the explosion ignited nearby residences and commercial buildings.
The homes in that area are mostly rowhouses.

Planes just don't plain seem to be able to stay in the air as readily when Republicans are in power then when Democrats are governing and it has nothing to do with physics, #JustSayin
