Number injured following Philadelphia plane crash increases to 24, some remain hospitalized
The number of people injured following the plane crash in Philadelphia has increased to 24, with four still hospitalized.
Mayor Cherelle L. Parker stood alongside other officials during an update Monday afternoon about the latest on the medical jet crash investigation. Two of the four still in the hospital are in critical condition, and two are stable, she said.
Sean Duffy, who was just sworn in as the secretary of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) six days ago, spoke about the response to the tragedy.
“I know that President Trump sends his condolences to the community and is offering resources and support as this recovery continues, and investigation continues,” Duffy said.

Duffy added that the crater seen on crash scene footage implies that the aircraft came down at a “very steep angle.”
Investigators remain hopeful to get answers following the discovery of the cockpit voice recorder and enhanced ground proximity warning system from the Jet Rescue Air Ambulance Learjet 55 that went down on Jan. 31, killing all six Mexican nationals onboard. The devices are on their way to Washington, D.C.

“Both components will be sent to the NTSB Vehicle Recorders Laboratory in Washington, DC for evaluation,” a National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) statement on Sunday said. “NTSB investigators have recovered both engines. Wreckage recovery continues tomorrow and all of the wreckage will be sent to a secure location in Delaware for further examination.”

Jason Rodriguez, 38, who was previously reported missing by his family after last being heard of near the crash site, has been located, according to FOX 29.
Investigative work regarding the crash continues at the local, state and federal level. A preliminary report on the crash should be available “within 30 days,” Duffy said.

Parker said she has visited two people and their families in the hospital, and has thanked emergency medical professionals. She held back tears when asked about viewing additional footage of the crash, and could not imagine how much worse it would have been had the jet hit a gas line.

Police are investigating a double homicide in the Frog Hollow section of Hartford, officials said.
According to officials, police were notified by citizens of a large fight that happened on Madison Street near Zion Cemetery just after 7 p.m. When officers got to the scene, they found a man in his 30s unresponsive and suffering from a stab wound.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
While at the scene, investigators learned that two others were taken to an area hospital via private car.
One of them was another man in his 30s suffering from a gunshot wound and was in critical condition. He was later pronounced dead. A 17-year-old was the second one taken to the hospital via private car, but his injuries were non-life-threatening, officials said.
According to officials at the scene, investigators do not believe the public is in danger and are reviewing surveillance footage in the area as part of the investigation.

Lil Wayne Apologizes After Failing to Appear at His Own Concert: ‘I’m So Sorry’
The rapper was a no-show at his 20 Years of Carter Classics stop in Maine
Mr. Carter, tell us, where have you been?
Lil Wayne has apologized to fans after he was a no-show at his own concert on Tuesday in Bangor, Maine. The stop was the first date on his 20 Years of Carter Classics tour extension following a successful 2025 run.
“My Maine fans I’m so sorry… The show is being rescheduled to July 28. Please hold on to your tickets, they will be honored for the rescheduled date,” wrote Wayne in an Instagram Stories post the day after. “I ain’t shit without you I can’t wait to come back and give you the show you deserve.” The rapper said that additional information will be emailed to ticket holders.
On Tuesday, after 2 Chainz wrapped his opening set at the Maine Savings Amphitheater, the crowd reportedly waited for quite some time before being informed at 11 p.m. that Wayne would not be appearing and the show was over. No official explanation was provided.
“Well, I came here for Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, and it was the most terrible experience. We drove over six hours to be here,” Rita Sack, an attendee who drove more than six hours from Nova Scotia for the concert, told local station Wabi.
Sack told the outlet that an apology from the rapper at the time would have been appreciated. “We paid for Lil Wayne. Like, the least you can do is come out for a minute, apologize, you know? Like, just take the moment and be like, hey guys, sorry, not feeling it, feeling a little sick,” said Sack.
