Am I the first one who is going to pose the question of a Medivac flight from Philadelphia, PA......to Springfield, MO?  I've been through Springfield a few times.  If I'm sick I'm taking Philly.  

Could be the right specialist just loves the Ozarks and you have to go there because they don’t travel. I’m sure people from all over get flown to Rochester MN too

Well yea but the fucking Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN.  Springfield, MO is where people stop to take a piss on the way to exciting locales like Branson or St Louis.  

I guess maybe could be somebody flying back home, or something...maybe, possibly.

I saw somewhere else that it was stopping for fuel in Springfield MO, and the final destination was Tijuana.

It was scheduled out of Springfield to head to Mexico later, so probably just a fuel stop.  Lear 55 has a range of almost 2500 miles, but it would be less with 6 pax plus equipment and going against the jet stream.

Hearing from my Lear friends the following: 

Huh. I remember seeing that one video and thinking it was odd, where you can see the plane on a parbolic arc, getting steeper as it approached the ground. I guess that would be explained by the nose trim down premise, but I'm certainly no pilot. Does that seem plausible?

Disclaimer: I don't know shit about fuck.

Thanks for clearing that up.  You too paint color man.

This. At that dive rate it was mechanical. But we will find out in the next few months from the ntsb. 

Based on my understanding of the situation, I'm thinking that the cause of the crash was catastrophic duck tape failure encasing the right engine compressor.

Springfield has some massive hospital system. Don’t know specifics, but spent a night at a hotel last August that turned out to be some medium to long stay place for people receiving medical treatment at one of the hospital systems in town. 

Perhaps that was the refueling destination due to the ease of access from airport to medical care center if needed.

This crash is giving some Jenni Rivera vibes the way it just went straight into the ground. 

 

Interesting - It kind of gave me some Jenna Jameson vibes, by how fast it went down.

My first thought, although it has nothing to do with the crash.  That's like Medivac from Boston to Amarillo.

Dude.  It's way worse than even Austin's.  I spent cumulative weeks in Springfield hospitals as a boy (asthma, etc.).  It is not a medical hub in any sense of the word.

7 fatalities. 6 crew and 1 on the ground. 19 injured.

If only one person was killed on the ground, that will be a bit of a miracle. I'm 30 minutes away from that area, and it's densely packed. The only better spots to minimize ground causalities than the mall parking lot would have been Pennypack or one of the smaller parks/fields.

Burn victims don’t typically die right away. Give it a few more days.

Mrs. Brat’s former high school boyfriend was severely burned when his helicopter was shot down in Vietnam. 
His upper body & head were badly burned - his nose, ears, & hair were gone. Plus most of the skin from his chest, back, arms & hands. 
He spent almost two years at Brooke Army Hospital in San Antonio immobilized on a special bed face down half the time recovering.
They grew him a new nose by partially cutting a flap of flesh from his arm and attaching it to his face - with his arm strapped up so it would grow in place over a few months and be cosmetically shaped. 
At the time of the crash he saved his eyesight by crossing his forearm over both eyes. 
After his recovery, he returned to active duty, got married to a beautiful nurse, and had a productive career in Army Aviation before retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel. 
He’s quite an interesting guy and a good man.
