Last week in Philadelphia, a distressing new video captured the moment when the medical transportation plane plummeted to the ground, showering the neighborhood with flaming wreckage while terrified bystanders cried out in fear.

The footage captured the Learjet 55 air ambulance jet, which was carrying a pediatric patient and her mother, exploding as it smashed to the ground in the busy neighborhood Friday night, killing seven people and injuring dozens more.

The new angle of the wreck, caught on local resident Michael Hitchner’s dashcam, showed a huge fireball erupting as the jet crashed just moments after taking off from the nearby Northeast Philadelphia Airport.

Large pieces of rubble and flames could be seen pelting vehicles as the explosion unfolded.

“Oh f–k,” Hitchner, who was driving with his wife and mom, shouted as the debris showered their car.

Cellphone footage shot by Hitchner in the immediate aftermath showed apocalyptic-type scenes as plumes of smoke billowed up and first responders rushed to the scene.

The Jet Rescue Air Ambulance plane had been taking 11-year-old Valentina Guzmán Murillo and her mother, Lizeth Murillo Osuna, back home to Mexico after the little girl underwent medical treatment at Shriners Children’s Philadelphia hospital.

The mother and daughter, as well as the four others on the plane, were all killed.

A seventh person inside a vehicle was killed on the ground, while 24 others were injured, officials said.

Multiple homes and businesses were blown apart during the explosion.

The crash came just two days after the deadliest US air disaster in decades after an American Airlines jet carrying 60 passengers and four crew members collided midair with an Army helicopter carrying three soldiers in Washington, D.C.

There were no survivors.
