Plane Crash in Philadelphia

I'm watching a local news station on YouTube. One of their reporters on the scene came across this oxygen tank about a 1/4-mile away from the impact site (they're saying it's a large debris field).

Also, the weather guy checked the temp readings about a 1/2-mile in elevation (max height at which the plane reached), and the temp was below freezing. So, they think that ice was likely NOT a factor.

As I was typing this, they read a quote from a city council person, there are mass casualties on the ground. Reports are that it's a gruesome scene.

Edit: Also, also the plane crashed only about 30 seconds after take-off, according to what the anchors just said. The flight was heading to Springfield, MO.

Good update but you meant above freezing.  I would think the pressure zones around the wings would also have an impact so not just ambient temps.

I'm still waiting to see if they rule out a drone.

Thanks. Yes, for clarification, he said the temps were ABOVE freezing at that altitude. Too late to edit my post.
