Ring doorbell camera captures moment small plane explodes into fireball in Philadelphia neighborhood

A Ring doorbell camera has captured the horrifying moment an ambulance plane crashed into a busy residential area, setting off at least six house fires.

The Learjet 55 jet was registered to a medical transport company and was carrying a sick child and five others when it crashed on Friday night (31 January) shortly after taking off from Northeast Philadelphia Airport.
