A medical transport plane crashed near a shopping center in Philadelphia, killing all six people on board, including a child. A person in a car also lost their life, bringing the death toll to seven.

Additionally, 19 people were injured and are being treated in hospitals. Investigators, including the FBI, are examining the debris to determine the cause of the crash. The accident was caught on security cameras, showing a fireball engulfing cars and houses. The young girl on board was returning to Mexico after medical treatment. Her mother, two pilots, a doctor, and a paramedic also died. Authorities have warned the public about scams asking for donations related to the crash, stating that no official fundraising efforts have been launched.

This incident occurred just two days after another major plane crash in the US, raising concerns about aviation safety. Officials have reassured the public that flying remains safe, but investigations into both accidents continue.

Difficult words: death toll (the number of deaths resulting from a particular cause), fireball (a large ball of fire caused by an explosion), scam (a trick).
