Two planes crash in the US in one week – level 1

04-02-2025 07:00

A small plane crashes in Philadelphia near a shopping center. Six people on the plane die, including a child. A person in a car also dies. Nineteen people are in the hospital.

Police are looking at the crash to find out more. Cameras show a big fire which burns cars and houses. The young girl on the plane is going home to Mexico. She gets medical help in the US. Her mother, two pilots, a doctor, and a paramedic are also on the plane. Some people are asking for money online. But this is not real. Police ask people not to send any money to anyone.

Two days before, another plane crashes. People are worried, but officials say that flying is still safe.

Difficult words: medical (connected to the situation when you are sick or hurt), paramedic (a person who gives medical help).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
