00:00We're still following the breaking news out of Philadelphia, Roosevelt and
00:04Cotman Avenue. The Roosevelt Mall reports of a confirmed plane crash
00:09described as a small plane crash. But there is significant fire here,
00:13impacting multiple structures. And this is something that Philadelphia Fire
00:17Department is on the scene for our partner WPVI in Philadelphia is
00:22tracking this as well. And again, very disruptive situation there in
00:27northeast Philadelphia, about 2 to 3 miles south southwest of the end of
00:31the runway for the northeast Philadelphia Airport, far removed from
00:36Philadelphia International, which is miles farther southwest of the
00:38Delaware County line. This is up in northeast Philly. So looking at
00:42visibility right now, five miles at the surface reported at the airport in
00:45south Philly. But there are areas where the visibility is lower. We have winds
00:49generally 13 MPH in Philadelphia right now. And again, readings well above
00:54freezing here. Even if you travel up thousands of feet up into the sky, a
00:57couple thousand feet up, still about freezing 49 at the surface. Here's the
01:01radar in Philadelphia right now with soaking rain and again, rain
01:04increasing a little bit into Chester County. It's gonna increase in the area
01:08where the firefighters are involved with that effort, traffic control for
01:11police and so forth.
