Dramatic photos captured the moment a two-month-old baby was saved from the wreckage of a helicopter after it crashed in Pennsylvania.
The helicopter crashed on Tuesday afternoon at around 1pm in the Drexel Hill neighborhood of Philadelphia in front of a church.
The infant was one of the four people on board in the chopper, which was en route to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
Following the crash, the baby girl was seen being rescued out of the wreckage by a member of the flight crew.
A woman was then seen rushing from the scene with the baby in her arms as the other survivors and flight crew members surveyed the damage.
The passengers all suffered non-life threatening injuries, which was deemed a 'miracle.'
The pilot, who has been identified as Daniel Moore, was revealed to be in serious condition but is expected to recover.

The investigation into the cause of the crash, which could possibly take up to a year, is still being determined.
'Preliminary radar data shows the helicopter in just a laser straight course line, steady airspeed and altitude until it reached this local area,' National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator Brian Rayner told CBS Philly.
'We're collecting witness and video evidence that describes the helicopter maneuvering erratically, for lack of a better term, and then descending here to the point you see behind me.'
Neighbors and onlookers had called emergency services after witnessing the terrifying crash.
Others reported hearing noises from the site of the wreckage, which had brought people out of their homes.
