A crash in a big city. I'm Paul Stevens, Fox News. A medical transport jet carrying a child patient, her mother, and four others slamming into a Philadelphia neighborhood on Friday night and exploding into flames. On the scene, Fox's Nate Ford. That Learjet 55 went down abruptly after a flight that lasted less than a minute after taking off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport. Six people killed.
at least. So that's four crew, two passengers, a heartbreaking story there. But the questions today, the long-term question is what happened on board this plane to make it go down? The more immediate question that we should learn in the coming hours and days is how many people were injured or, God forbid, killed on the ground as a result of this crash.
And at least six cars and homes were set on fire. New questions arising after the deadly D.C. crash between a plane and a military helicopter outside Reagan National Airport earlier this week that killed 67 people. The New York Times citing an internal preliminary FAA safety report and a source briefed on staffing reports, an air traffic control supervisor allowed one air traffic controller to leave the job early Wednesday evening, so one person was
reportedly doing the job of two people handling air traffic control for helicopters and incoming planes. The NTSB says interviews with air traffic controllers are being done. They will look into the history of the air traffic controller who was on duty that night looking into their training and their hiring. Salvage crews will be out on the scene today working on getting the aircraft
out of the water. That's Fox's Madeline Rivera. At least 41 bodies have been recovered. 28 identify the Blackhawks. Black Box has been recovered. Hefty new tariffs of 25% on goods from Mexico and Canada and 10% on imports from China taking place and settling in today. America's listening to Fox News.

An American-Israeli hostage is freed. Fox's Trey Yinks with the details in Tel Aviv. Another hostage release taking place today with three more people coming home. American citizen Keith Siegel was released by himself from the port of Gaza in Gaza City. We do know Keith was taken with his wife Aviva from the community of Kafar Aza. She was released during the first ceasefire.
Ofer Calderon was also freed from southern Gaza in the city of Han Yunis along with Yarden Bibas. Yarden, his wife and two young children were kidnapped on the 7th and haven't been seen since. The scenes were far less chaotic today. Israel had threatened Hamas with pausing the release of Palestinian prisoners if the hostages were paraded through a crowd again. Now Israel and Hamas are set next week to start talks on the second phase of the ongoing ceasefire. Democrats are set to elect a new chairman next
This weekend amid a party that's in crisis. The Democratic National Committee will have new leadership following a vote expected today at the DNC's winter meeting in Maryland, where former Governor Martin O'Malley, who's considered a frontrunner among the eight candidates, tells Fox News the party needs to move in a different direction. The people we lost in every segment were people that struggle the most to put food on their own family's table.
And they were the ones we lost across the board. No word yet of the DNC will move away from a DEI focus that critics say also led to stinging 2024 election defeats that resulted in Republican control of the presidency, the House, and the Senate.

This is Fox News.
