A Philadelphia diner patron was injured Friday when a piece of debris from a medevac jet that crashed in a fiery explosion on a city street hurtled through a window of the restaurant and hit the man in the head.
Surveillance footage from inside the Four Seasons Diner Restaurant on Cottman Avenue, which is about half a mile from the crash site, shows several patrons in booths and a waitress standing nearby when an object suddenly whizzes through the frame.
A male patron seated in a booth is seen grabbing his head as the hat he is wearing flies off his head. The man slumps over as others are seen ducking for cover.
A diner employee said that an object flew through a window and struck the customer in the head.
Another employee said that despite “a lot of bleeding on his head,” the man was doing OK.
The crash, which involved a Learjet 55 medevac jet, occurred near the Roosevelt Mall at around 6:30 p.m. on Friday evening, killing at least seven people and injuring 22 others.
