Medical jet crash survivor rings bell before 76ers game
A 10-year-old boy who suffered severe injuries in last year's medical jet crash in Northeast Philadelphia took part in a special moment Friday night, ringing the bell before the 76ers game. Ramesses Vazquez‑Viana suffered burns over more than 90% of his body and has already undergone more than 40 surgeries. His family says he continues to grow stronger every day.
