Medical Helicopter Makes Emergency Landing in Front Yard of Pennsylvania Home

  • On Monday evening, a Penn Medicine medical helicopter with three crew members on board made an unplanned touchdown in the front lawn of a residence located on Musket Road in the 6000 block of Whitemarsh Township, Pennsylvania.
  • Mechanical issues caused the helicopter’s tail rotor and other components to detach, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing short of the intended destination near Blue Bell.
  • The pilot controlled the out-of-control helicopter into an open area without striking any homes or causing injuries, while emergency crews responded and evacuated the three crew members for precautionary checks.
  • Whitemarsh Police Chief Christopher Ward said, "We got very lucky tonight, it's a miracle," emphasizing that no injuries or property damage occurred beyond the landing site.
  • The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating the incident, and the helicopter will remain at the site until the investigation concludes while residents are asked to report any debris to authorities.
