New photos of the private plane crash in Philadelphia reveal the crumpled black box left over from the craft Tuesday.

The National Transportation Safety Board says the black box was discovered at the site of the crash buried eight feet under the ground. Jet Rescue Air Ambulance confirmed that its Learjet 55 crashed while departing from Northeast Philadelphia Airport late last week. 

The company said there were four crew members and two passengers on the plane at the time – a pilot, copilot, physician, paramedic, pediatric patient and her mother. They were all Mexican nationals.

The NTSB confirmed they recovered the black box on Sunday, but they did not release photos of the device.

Meanwhile, 38-year-old Jason Rodriguez – who was in the area at the time of the crash – remains missing, according to FOX 29. His family says he was shopping when they last heard from him.

Fox News’ Pilar Arias, Andrea Margolis, Greg Wehner and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
