A chilling moan was heard in newly released recorded conversation between air traffic control and the doomed air ambulance that crashed over Pennsylvania on Friday night.
The audio comes as it was revealed victims on board the small Learjet 55 plane included a young pediatric patient who was traveling back to Mexico after having just undergone life-saving medical treatment in the US.
In the minutes leading up to the crash, air traffic control was heard speaking with the air ambulance, including asking the pilot ‘what frequency’ they were on.
Social media debated the next part of their conversation, as sharp-eared listeners said they could hear one side saying the other was ‘talking with the wrong people.’
A few seconds after that remark, an ominous moan could be heard coming from what several social media user believed was the cockpit. Officials have not revealed what caused the crash, and an investigation is ongoing.
After a brief pause, an air traffic controller asked, ‘What’s going on down there?’, to which another dispatcher answered: ‘We have a lost aircraft.’
‘We’re not exactly sure what happened, we’re trying to figure it out,’ they added. ‘For now, the field is going to be closed.’
