A plane crash marred this section of Northeast Philadelphia 1 year ago. Look back at the scene in photos.

Philadelphia is marking one year since the tragic Northeast Philadelphia plane crash, which killed eight people and left about two dozen injured on the night of Jan. 31, 2025.

Emergency responders from across the city, as well as neighboring municipalities and federal agencies, were called to the scene on a Friday night after the plane, a medical Learjet 55, crashed in front of the busy Roosevelt Mall.

The crash spurred acts of bravery and heroism from people in uniform and not. 

A man ran from a restaurant toward a burning car to save a 9-year-old boy who had suffered burns. 

Another little boy, as debris fell from the sky, shielded his sister from falling debris, suffering serious injuries himself. 

Neighbors came together and helped put out fires and evacuate each other.

Here’s a look back at the community coming together 1 year ago.
