Philadelphia woman Dominique Goods-Burke dies months after Northeast Philadelphia plane crash
The Jan. 31 plane crash in Northeast Philadelphia has claimed an eighth life months later. Dominique Goods-Burke, 34, has died due to burns and other injuries as a result of the plane crash outside of the Roosevelt Mall on Cottman Avenue that hurt more than 20 other people and damaged several homes and businesses, the city's Medical Examiner's Office confirmed to the Associated Press. "Dominique was a fighter until the end of her three-month battle with her injuries and related health concerns," Goods-Burke's employer, High Point Cafe, posted on Facebook. "We will miss her kind smile, beautiful spirit, and heart full of love. Please keep her family in your thoughts as they navigate these next steps. Thank you for your donations and for showing the love of our High Point Cafe community." The plane crash in Northeast Philly killed all six people aboard the Learjet 55, and another person inside a car on the ground, along with Goods-Burke. Four crew members from Jet Rescue Air Ambulance were killed along with an 11-year-old pediatric patient Valentina Guzman Murillo, who had just wrapped up weeks of treatment at Shriners Children's Hospital Philadelphia, and her mother Lizeth Murillo Ozuna. The flight was bound for Springfield-Branson Airport in Missouri. The crewmembers were pilot Capt. Alan Alejandro Montoya Perales, copilot Josue de Jesus Juarez Juarez, Dr. Raul Meza Arredondo and paramedic Rodrigo Lopez Padilla. The man killed on the ground was identified as 37-year-old Steven Dreuitt. His son, 9-year-old Ramesses, was sent to a Massachusetts hospital with burns on 90% of his body. The car they were in was severely damaged in the crash. A man who was eating at the Raising Cane's close to the crash scene, Caseem Wongus, sprang into action when he saw Ramesses emerge from the flames, wrapping the boy in his jacket and getting him over to first responders. The cause of the Northeast Philly crash remains under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board. A preliminary report in March said that the cockpit voice recorder was not recording and likely hadn't recorded audio for several years. The recorder had "significant impact-related damage," according to the report. Investigators said there were no distress calls received from the flight crew. The entire flight was less than one minute as the plane made a steep descent and crashed near the Roosevelt Mall in a very densely populated area of the city. The NTSB is expected to release a final report on the crash in 12 to 24 months. -The Associated Press contributed to this report

Philly plane crash: Emotional vigil at crash site held for those impacted
The Brief It's been an emotional day, five days after a deadly jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia that killed all six people onboard and one person on the ground. People gathered at the only spot they could get close enough to the crash site after the plane went down and they chose that spot to grieve together and to help each other cope with what they saw. NORTHEAST PHILADELPHIA - Residents in Northeast Philadelphia are trying to put their community back together after a deadly plane crash took the lives of all the passengers onboard and one person on the ground. Adding more flowers, more candles and a lot more of their shared sense of community, residents near the site of a deadly plane crash gathered five nights after the crash to help each other get through the shared sense of shock. What they're saying "I think the beautiful thing about this is the diversity and the different communities that have come out together," Rochelle Holder said. FOX 29's Steve Keeley asked, "What made you come here with your flowers?" "Because I was, like, two minutes from being involved in that situation. And, it's just my respect for those that were and it's touching my heart," she replied. Northeast resident TJ Hoffer said, "It's pretty tight-knit. We're out here helping out that day and still helping out now five days later." "What are your thoughts on everybody pulling together like this?" asked Keeley. "It's awesome. When you feel like you really can't do anything, you can come and pray. It's pretty awesome," resident Trish Ward answered. Big picture view Wednesday night, there was no language barrier and emotion was seen on each and every face, no matter their background. Vigil organizer, Miguel Andrad, stated, "Obviously the Hispanic and Latino community were deeply impacted but the Northeast is a neighborhood of immigrants, a neighborhood of families and what you're seeing is us coming together as Philadelphians. As a city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. We're taking care of each other." What's next Cottman Avenue, between Roosevelt and Bustleton reopened Wednesday, as did the Roosevelt Mall. At a town hall hosted by Mayor Cherelle Parker, a GoFundMe for impacted victims was announced by city officials.
